October 31, 201411 yr Moderator It appears that Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip 2 has suffered an 'in flight anomaly' while on a Test Flight, and has crashed in the Mojave Desert... http://www.space.com/27617-virgin-galactic-spaceshiptwo-test-flight-anomaly.html :(
October 31, 201411 yr Headlines are saying 1 is alive in serious condition and 1 is dead. There are 2 crew in that aircraft.
October 31, 201411 yr Not a good week for commercial space ventures :-(. Sad news indeed. Enrique Vaamonde
October 31, 201411 yr When the first incident happened, I immediately thought of Spaceship 2 and breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn't them and a manned vehicle incident. :-/ It will obviously be a while before they can say anything conclusive, but if I was them I would have laid low rather than attempting anything new with the first incident still in the headlines. Call me superstitious, but I would have thought it was pushing things. :( http://youtu.be/7hWS8wcNBak We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......
