Scaled/Virgin SpaceShipTwo Rocket Motor Testing

Richard Branson seems to think that the first powered flight is coming pretty soon.  Of course he has made noises like this before, but if I were preparing for the first use in flight, I would have a full-up, production-representative motor with all the latest modifications on the test pad within a few weeks of my planned flight.  But hey... what do I know?
