The Los Angeles Times today reports that The Spaceship Company, or TSC—the joint venture owned by Burt Rutan's Mojave-based Scaled Composites and Richard Branson's space tourism company Virgin Galactic—are building a production facility at the Mojave Air and Space Port where the world's first fleet of commercial spaceships will be built.

TSC plans to finish the 68,000-square-foot facility by September, 2011. "It expects to build three White Knight aircraft, which resemble massive flying catamarans, and five smaller SpaceShipTwo rocket planes," according to the LA Times
