IAC#3 - Two approaches to space tourism

Both EADS Astrium and Virgin Galactic have models of their proposed vehicles on display in the exhibition hall, demonstrating differernt approaches. Astrium (top) proposes an all-in-one rocketplane while Virgin (bottom) will use a two-stage vehicle - an aircraft carries the smaller rocket to its launch altitude.

Given that Virgin (with Scaled Composites) are actually developing flight hardware and have rolled out the carrier aircraft, I know which I expect to see in space first!
