With Google's proposed Googlunaplex and Google Mars, it's understandable that Techcrunch got all excited over the weekend at rumors Google had purchased the private space ship SpaceShipOne.

...the word on the street is that Google has acquired SpaceShipOne and is putting it inside building 43 at Google headquarters in Mountain View, California. No word on the purchase price, or if this was a donation, or why the ship is not staying at the Smithsonian

It turns out Google actually purchased a replica of the ship.

Thanks to readers, I now know the rumor is false. Google did not acquire SpaceShipOne. But they did acquire a full scale replica of the ship and have indeed installed it in building 43 at Google.
