He ejected via use of a parachute?

Maybe he ejected and THEN used his parachute?

I’m finicky, but....I hate journalists, when it comes to technical matters...

Guns, too, and biology.

More than 700 people - including Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry - have paid $250,000 for tickets

Great! Send them on up!

Branson claimed the company would push on after the crash. I have my doubts. They were way behind schedule before the crash, and were still tinkering with their rocket motor and yet to get their spacecraft into (suborbital) space.

Why do we Americans have to go to foreign news sources to get REAL information? (Even if they do miss a point or two.)

I’m very sorry for the deceased pilot but that said, I don’t think this Branson and these people are positive influences. This surely will be a big setback. Difficult to see them come back.

I wonder if the media will interview the celebrity guinea pigs to see if they are still in. I doubt they will get ejection sets and parachutes

Two things caused the Challenger explosion: Politics and sheer bad luck.
