Well, finally some news about Rutan and Virgin Galactic. Is this the first flight since the offical first tethered flight? If it is I have to say their test program is moving with agonizing slowness.

In the current political environment, they can’t afford to have any more tragic incidents. They are being very careful.

This was the first flight with a crew in the release vehicle, but it remained tethered during the entire flight as I read it.
