I was just using the SS3 name as an example, for orbital I am sure they would change the name of the craft.
Up until a few years ago they hadn't designed a suborbital craft either.  Burt Rutan also tends to keep a tight lid on his designs until well into the design process.  SS2/WK2 has been on the drawing boards for a few years, but only next month are we the pubic going to get a first glimpse of anything flight hardware related.  So if a "true" space craft is being designed, you and I wont know about it for a while.

Wasnt there some sort living organism experiment on Genesis I. I never heard anything about it after launch but i thought there was something on board anyone remember. Also I wonder why we haven't had anymore pics of the outside and inside of  Genesis I the ones they had were pretty cool but what happened to them I hope nothing has gone wrong with the cameras or the spacecraft itself.  All I have seen are those where in the world pics but those could have also come from ISS.  Anyone have any info about this too I hope that Bigelow does well but they are very secretive about the status of their craft I think.

I think I recall hearing that because the module was stored for a couple of months b/c of different delays, etc., anything live had died by launch time.
