I’ll say it again - SpaceX rockets haven’t crashed.

Never ride in a virgin galactic spaceship. Better to go with an experienced one.

There’s something about the word ‘spaceship’ that sounds very juvenile.

Regrettable, but pushing the aerospace envelope can be a dangerous activity. These things will happen.

What gets me is that they were careful, pushing the envelope in small increments. Not amateurs, in any way.
And still.
Waiting for the inevitable “space is not for cowards” comment.
Eyes are shifting to Elon Musk.

This project seems to have a lot of problems and is taking a relatively long time after initial success.

That might be a good idea. I don’t think there’s a way for the passengers to safely escape if something goes wrong, just like the Space Shuttle.

Guardian reports:
1 dead,
1 "Serious" injury.
Cause:
"Serious anomaly." IOW, "don't know yet."
(Wild Ass Guess) Not that great a body of fatigue data on this composite stuff quite yet, and the thing has been flying with rocket power for well over a year..
