ALERT! One Dead As Virgin Galactic Spaceship Two Crashes in California Well this is the second accident in the space of a week in the space industry, and i hope these things dont come in threes! One pilot was killed and another seriously injured after a Virgin Galactic suborbital rocket plane crashed on a powered test flight over California. The tragedy occurred after SpaceShipTwo fired its rocket motor following a high-altitude drop from Virgin Galactics WhiteKnightTwo mothership. The co-pilot suffered moderate to major injuries when he ejected from the rocket plane, a spokesman for Kern County Sheriff told Reuters news agency. Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Bransons Virgin Group, was aiming to begin tourist flights to the edge of space next year. The company said earlier in a statement to Sky News that SpaceShipTwo suffered a serious anomaly resulting in the loss of the vehicle. https://youtube/watch?v=HO3BcZr9rVw
