bongodriver Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Oh crap, so details of casualties are in now, I'm surprised to hear of one still alive, not sure what crew escape system was in place on the craft but it didn't look like something readily escapable, sad news.

outlawal2 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Really tough week for civilian space endeavors.. Aircraft/spacecraft testing can be a brutal business for sure... Thoughts to their families and friends.. :O( "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted October 31, 2014 ED Team Posted October 31, 2014 Sad news, Brave pilots pushing the envelope, R.I.P to the fallen pilot and I hope the other recovers.

bongodriver Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 combined with the crash in Wichita it's been a bad week for aviation.
Python Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Bad week, RIP to the guy that lost his life. I hope Mr Branson continues with his ventures, I'm sure he will.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
bongodriver Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Bad week, RIP to the guy that lost his life. I hope Mr Branson continues with his ventures, I'm sure he will.. I obviously can't speak for the deceased pilot but I imagine he was there to pioneer something he thought would benefit us in the future, so yes, keep it going if possible and dedicate his memory.....hopefully the only one.
dooom Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 man - this sucks - I'm totally bummed out about this. Civilian space endeavours are our salvation... literally.

WinterH Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Civilian spacefaring companies are an important achievement for whole of human society, in such a complex endeavour casualties among pioneers are unfortunately to be expected. Achievements and sacrifices in this area are, in my eyes, at least as heroic and respectable as any combat pilot's. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
eurofor Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 It seems the feathering system could be a possible cause of the crash. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29880688 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
