[picture] Lunch was catered in the low bay hangar afterward. Some of us talked about this and believe this was a necessary part of the plans since the attendees probably number several times more than the capacity of all the restaurants in Mojave. However, they might have done this anyway since Rotary didn't go cheap on anything at this event.

[picture] The high and low bays after the rollout event. Note the bare dirt in the foreground: at the time Rotary had more concrete to pour before Roton/ATV could be towed onto the airport ramp.

[picture] Looking up at Roton/ATV inside the high bay. The mock payload bay doors are painted where they will be on the orbital versions of Roton. The Rotary logo is above a gadget which we guessed is a maneuvering jet. The US flag in the high bay is in the background.

[picture] Another angle of Roton/ATV showing the N-number. The crew cabin door is open.
[picture] A view up the stairs to the crew cabin. There's a long line to get up there (not shown in picture.)
[picture] Colored lights shine on Roton/ATV and its N-number. People are at the top of the stairs to the crew cabin and obviously some are having their pictures taken in the pilots' seats.
