    Virgin Spacecraft Crash

    My thoughts are with Mike Oldfield at this time.

    That is one crazy-ass flight system they came up with. Hard to believe they expected that to be reliable.

    Oh no- is there link to a story? Never mind, I'll Google it.

    It was the 55th flight, although only the fourth with a rocket propulsion. It doesn't appear that it's necessarily an issue of flawed design. More like a malfunction.

    It seems like there are a lot of places where a malfunction could occur. To me it seems crazy to risk peoples lives on test flights for a vehicle designed for recreation.

    Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
