Earlier, Virgin Galactic said "the flight did drop below the altitude of the airspace ... for a short distance and time (1 minute and 41 seconds)."

Doesn't sound like a major glitch.

The pilots busted their assigned altitude for 1 minute and 40 seconds? Uhmmmm....... Apply that punishment for the rest of aviation and every pilot would be under investigation.

#1 Rule: Fly the plane first.

#2 Rule: See Rule #1

#3 Rule: If all is ok with the first two rules, then communicate.

“...a deviation in the descent of the flight of the Virgin Galactic rocket plane”

Nothing to worry about...just a small “deviation” from plan.

Just like the FBI, CDC, NSA, CIA, DHS, DOJ,......The FAA has now become a political charged entity. Not Good!

A company that names its ship “Galactic” suggest ownership with serious issues with delusions of grandeur.

Boring details tend to escape such folks...
