SpaceShipTwo's fourth test flight ended in an accident 10/31/2014. The accident killed one pilot and another injured. This accident no one liked, but when it comes to space rockets accidents are possible, especially in the test phases. When the accident happened, Virgin Galactic start to communicate immediately. Their information have been directly and honestly. US authorities (the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB's)) will investigate the accident and inform the foundings when the studies are complete. In this step has already been stated that the rocket motor did not explode and it did not cause the accident. As a possible cause of the accident is considered at this stage a human error.

Virgin Galactic will continue with the project. They have another spaceship almost ready and they are not prohibited from continuing testing and project. The accident will cause some delays in the project, possibly 1-2 years.

I will continue on the project and I will give full support to Virgin Galactic. I keep my ticket and I do not ask for my money back.
