sandra3dee Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Moment Virgin Galactic spaceship exploded at 45,000ft: One pilot dead and another critical as Richard Branson's $500m space tourism plane blows up testing new fuel over California desert I did signup with him. Think I will give it a bodyswerve and get a refund. link Edited November 1, 2014 by sandra3dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happ Hazzard Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just cancelled my Virgin media subscription, just in case the box blows up. Threw my CD of "Tubular Bells" in the bin as well, you can never be too careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Anything to do with space exploration is problematic, there was another explosion of a rocket this week http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/antares-explosion-confronting-inevitable-risks-space-travel I spent a large part of my working life working on space projects and only witnessed one explosion personally but there were other problems causing spacecraft failures including one attributed to Vaseline!

onewheeldave Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) why? ordinary airplanes crash occasionally and people don't stop flying Planes blowing up are very rare proportionate to the number of plane flights- the proportions are not so favourable for Virgin Galactic spaceship flights.
