Summary: Virgin Galactics SpaceShipTwo crashed during a test run, One pilot was killed and the other was injured. Virgin Galactic has spent big amounts of money on this project. Their idea was to have several space ships that took passengers to space and back. Fridays test was the first rocket-powered flight in nine months. The company has been suffering a lot. On Tuesday in the same week an unmanned rocket carrying supplies exploded while launching off a launch pad. There has been something weird about the crash though. Stuart Witt was around the area of the crash and he claims that he never heard an explosion of some sort. This causes people to believe that something else might have happened.
Analysis: I think this is a roadblock in the technology and the production of Virgin Galactic. Virgin Galactic needs to be able to make a rocket that is safe and efficient so people will be able to ride it. I also think this will cause a lot of confusion for other people who witnessed the crash or wanted to know how the plane crashed.
What do you think caused the crash?
Will Virgin Galactic be able to make a safe rocket?
How do you think other astrological companies will approach this?

I believe that it is possible for Virgin Galactic is able to make a safer rocket. Yes, this was a very bad attempt, but stopping here won't make anything better. Of course this is a terrible tragedy, but it doesn't make it impossible for them to have a chance to succeed.
