Out in the Mojave desert, Virgin Galactic has unveiled the new transport ship they'll be using to carry their SpaceShipTwo into suborbital space. With a 140-foot wingspan, it's the largest all-carbon composite aircraft ever built. Virgin founder Richard Branson christened the plane, EVE, after his mother.

Stay tuned for more details and pictures to come from Wired.com's Dave Bullock and Loretta Hidalgo "My Other Ride's a Spaceship" Whitesides, who are on the scene. While you're waiting, check out Xeni Jardin's tweets from the unveiling.
