They Kept This Story Low-Profile in Yesterday's Mainstream News.....

Sir Richard Branson is offering refunds to those who have prepaid $200K to Virgin Galactic to ride one of his spaceships on a suborbital space flight.

I can't wait to get the straight skinny from Aviation Week on why the spacecraft blew-up.

Somebody could mess with a project to guarantee it would not be successful. The MIC players do not want competition.

You should have watched Fox News.  They had live coverage during the search for the aircraft and when they found the first wing.  They also had the information on the two pilots, one dead and one being flown to a hospital in critical condition.

Oh, they have not prepaid, they paid deposits.

Seconds after the spaceship was dropped from the mother ship, the rocket engine ignited and then exploded.

That's Fox News for future reference.

As you know, there is no competition from your dreaded MIC. Semi-retired President Obama now rents rides to the International Space Station from Russia. For our rockets, we buy rocket engines from Russia.
Why would the MIC be concerned about passenger flights?

Private companies are also transporting our provisions to the International Space Station.

As you know too, the space station has contributed more to the economy than it has cost in tax payer money through all its various advances and inventions.

Semi-retired President Obama is now using it as an outreach program to Muslims and to study climate change.

So semi retired muslim president obama is now ruining space too. That no good son of a bitch.

MIC isn't involved remember....Obama cancelled most of the work NASA does.

What did I post which is NOT true? Or is that the best you can do?

Yeah, I know, facing the FACTS and TRUTH is really offensive for Progressives.

Come on now, step up and show me where I am wrong?

Come on ZVUGKTUBM, step up, show me where I am wrong.

You may also be interested that Fox is still carrying updated, current information on the crash in the desert and the cause. They had schematics of the separation, explosion and what appears to have gone wrong. Some "feathers" which are supposed to be deployed for stability were deployed too soon, manually. Mystery as to how they deployed by themselves, they're supposed to be manually cranked into position.

Remember...Fox News

I learned of this from NPR on the day of the incident.

They've kept me informed with updates ever since.
