Virgin Galactic has set Feb. 19 for the roll out and christening of its second SpaceShipTwo from its assembly, integration and test hangar at the Mojave Air and Space Port in California. The invite-only event is expected to include the participation of theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, who will help reveal the name of the suborbital spacecraft. The reveal comes more than a year after the first SpaceShipTwo was lost in a test flight.
