Very sorry to hear about the failure of Virgin Galactics latest test flight. The test flight was the 55th flight of the SpaceShipTwo vehicle, and the craft’s 35th free flight. It was the fourth time SpaceShipTwo had fired up its hybrid rocket motor in flight, and the first powered mission since Virgin Galactic and Scaled Composites, the spacecraft’s builder, switched from a rubber-based propellant to a plastic-based fuel mix. spaceflightnow/2014/10/31/virgin-galactics-spaceshiptwo-suffers-anomaly-during-test-flight/
