This business will work great until the first fatality.

Why?

It hasn't shut down the airlines.

Anyone that has taken a close look at SpaceShip One knows just how marginal a vehicle it was. Even with improvements I doubt SpaceShip Two will be much more advanced.

As far as I recall, SpaceShip One entered regimes of uncontrolled flight during every ascent-descent, especially in the roll axis.

My doubts about this program do not mean that I am opposed to civilian sub-orbital flights per se, or civilian space exploration either.
