    News Virgin Galactic's LauncherOne (orbital launch system)

    I'm not sure if they're still putting this in 747-8s, but earlier 747 variants have a fifth structural "hardpoint" between the inner left engine and the fuselage that can mount a spare engine.

How is the car able to tell that the person in front of them is a female athlete, or a male executive? How does it know...
