I took a look at their homepage and as soon as I read the words 'sustainable' and 'progressive' in their mission statement that told me everything I needed to know about them.
They don't actually do anything, they just set themselves up with the aim of telling other people what to do...
Flyboy similarly I find the word "anomaly" nauseating. That is a word to avoid litigation
Actually it's a common word used to describe an issue when an aircraft or rocket is being tracked with telemetry equipment, obviously when something has gone wrong.
You probably saw the press conference. With the exception of the people from Scaled, the rest of the people were just tools (Kern County Sheriff for one). They were probably mimicking what they heard earlier in the day, just like parrots!Yes Flyboyj like I said. When you are tracking it you may have an anomaly on your instruments, when it is seen to break up and be photographed coming down in the desert that is something else. It seemed to me the persons concerned were taking the vocabulary of one innocuous situation and applying it to another disasterous one. No way does anomaly apply to the photos I have seen.

I actually thought the same thing when I saw the first interviews. It seems the first responders were the first to speak, I don't know why this happened. I used to work at that airport, there's a lot of very talented and dedicated people there but there's also many who seem that they are more important than what they really are!Nervous parrots ...words like break up, explosion, failure disintegration can lead to legal claims....lets just stick with a nice sounding anomaly and while we are a it re name ionising radiation as magic moonbeams. I dont mean any disrespect to the bereaved but the wording of these publicity releases sucks, the guys who died and were injured deserve better.
People are going to remember this thing like they remember the Concorde. I know I wouldn't get on one even if it's biodegradable.I took a look at their homepage and as soon as I read the words 'sustainable' and 'progressive' in their mission statement that told me everything I needed to know about them.

To be honest though, the woman in that article pisses me off more than the bobble heads. I bet she's never been to Scaled or anywhere near Mojave.

It looks like the NTSB has preliminary findings that the re-entry apparatus malfunctioned and deployed prematurely, causing the catastrophic failure of the vehicle.
I'll have to refind the link.
Yep! I seen one report where they said the co-pilot might have deployed it.
I heard these have to reach Mach 12 just to get up into space. I'll consider going up in one when NASA considers insuring astronauts. It's the fuel that has me shaking like a leaf, not the craft.I've spent many hours at Scaled Composites and seen some of the wonderful toys they have come up with. Innovative but very safe in their approach, I'd fly in that aircraft in a New York minute!
