One confirmed dead
One in a bad way after ejecting
Around 80Million Dollars taken for these
future flights
The Live video is feed back to base
Anomaly - they are calling it
I call it a ERROR
I bet they are rushing things
also many from NASA are working on it.
and as early as next year flights into near space were due.

They were in a Rush
As flights would start
in just a few months.
They had the money
and NASA Engineers backing them,
but they changed the rocket system
to much.

Its sad, but this is exactly the reason they have plenty of tests before the service goes live.

This is a tragedy and real setback for the idea of space tourism. I thought before that this project was a bit too risky for the general public. It is basically an experimental rocket plane.

It's not really a spaceship, it's just a plane that flies really high for short periods of time. That vehicle was never capable of reaching space.
i hope this doesn't cause any backlash against private space exploration though. the more people trying to get to space the better imho. more science, more technology, more exploration, that's what we want and need.
