In what’s been a very strange week what with an Antares rocket bound for the International Space Station exploding and crashing down on the launching pad, it appears that Virgin Galactic has suffered a crash of its own during a test flight in the Mojave Desert. One pilot has been reported dead.
NASA has had its share of accidents and near misses in what can be a very dangerous business but these are the first high profile accidents to befall private companies in such a public way.
Then, six minutes later, this Tweet went out.
