SpaceShipTwo
Wired has posted a short video on SS2. As usual, the media is couching it in all-or-nothing terms (”if they can’t pull it off it might be a long time before you and I might get our spaceflights”). There are a lot of post-deniable weasel words in that kind of reporting, but I’m glad to see Scaled on the job. Of course, if they do pull it off, some other schmuck reporter can just as easily make up another stupid question to rattle the public and investors into thinking the whole project is a deathtrap. My nominations go to the fear-of-lawsuits to environmental worries.
Get the freaking “unbiased” reporters out of the way and let the entrepreneurs do the heavy lifting.
