Virgin Galactic nose art

'Galactic Girl' is the nickname given to the nose art on the White Knight 2, mothership for Virgin Galactic's passenger carrying rocket planes/spacecraft. Named for Sir Richard Branson's mother, the ship itself is called VMS Eve. Branson's mother Evelyn is also reportedly the inspiration for Galactic Girl.
