A sad day for space travel. “SpaceShipTwo — which is built by the company Scaled Composites for Virgin Galactic — suffered a serious anomaly after its rocket motor ignited, leading to the crash of the spacecraft. One of the pilots parachuted out of the prototype spaceliner, and the other pilot perished during the failed flight, Ray Pruitt, the sheriffs office spokesman, confirmed. We have one confirmed fatality and one survivor, Pruitt told Space. The survivor was able to eject from the aircraft. He was located near one of the debris fields.”
