Bad week for space flight.

major injury? on the ground?... not sure how somebody's surviving from the flight.

Terrible about the loss of life.

On a side note, Richard Branson seems like a great person and I hope this succeeds at some point.

I saw something on Twitter about a parachute deployed, but info is kind of spotty.

Doesn't look like it exploded. Looks like it crashed and didn't get engulfed in flames

They're calling it an "In-flight anomaly", but witnesses that were there said they saw it explode. Reports are sketchy at this point.

Wait....are the details sketchy or spotty?

Agree about Branson... but not sure how invested I am in rich people getting to pay their way into space.
