ViperPilot2 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It appears that Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip Two has suffered an "in flight anomaly" during a Test Flight, and has crashed in the Mojave Desert... My thoughts go out to everyone affected... http://www.space.com/27617-virgin-galactic-spaceshiptwo-test-flight-anomaly.html "I created the Little Black Book to keep myself from getting killed..." -- Captain Elrey Borge Jeppesen AMD 1.9GB/8GB RAM/AMD VISION 1GB GPU/500 GB HDD/WIN 7 PRO 64/FS9 CFS CFS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugout Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yes, I have seen the news. Horrible. My thoughts to the family of the poor pilot too. I was reading the other day an article on an aviation news magazine and there was an explanation about the fact this technology is actually 30 years old and was developed by British military corp . Finally it was abandoned due to a defect in the design that make the SpaceshipII unsecure and dangerous. This was bought by Virgin Galactic from B.A.S. and used to develpo this project. Let's cross the fingers and hope this project will carry on and open a new door into the space travel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
