WhiteKnightTwo and SpaceShipTwo in flight

The suborbital tourism ship, SpaceShipTwo, did not separate from the mothership, the WhiteKnightTwo, but all systems checked positive during the 6 hour and 12 minute flight.

Props to the writer at space.com, Clara Moskowitz, for writing a whole article on this psuedo maiden flight! Cause, I'm done in a sentence.
