Not sure who made the motor but most rockets say “Light fuse, get away”.
No pressure suit?!
Isn’t the information that the co-pilot unlocked the wings early and that they were deployed early , new ?
It would seem that deploying (feathering) the ‘wings’ while at 110% of thrust capacity isn’t a good idea. whoda thunk ?
“This means that it remains unexplained why SpaceShipTwo’s co-pilot began the process of lifting the vehicle’s wings before he was clear to do so. “
Especially since the wings should NEVER be unlocked on the way UP.
