Wish you would give a better explanation. I know Burt Rutan is a leader in this field, and has used a similar design before, but why two cockpit/fuseloges? Inquiring minds want to know, LOL!

The actual spacecraft is attached to the wing section between the two fuselages during takeoff and initial launch.

Come, my friends, 'tis not too late to seek a new world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite the sounding furrows; for my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset, and the baths of all western stars, until I die. Tennyson, "Ulysses"
