Remains of the fuselage and what appeared to be part Engine is all that remains of the ship space tourism company Virgin Galactic. The device has crashed on Friday in the Mojave Desert in California. One of the pilots that manned died in the accident and the other is in critical condition. It was the test flight number 35, everything seemed fine, but the moment where the ship separates the plane towing this happens: 14,000 meters, the device becomes a blur of white smoke and a dot appears luminous flames that might be. Looks like a blast, but still do not know for sure what went wrong. “Space is complicated and today is a hard day, will support research to find out what happened,” said the president of Virgin Galactic, George Whitesides. So far, the accident has halted the enthusiastic predictions about space tourism. Upon payment of a ticket that costs more than 150,000 euros, famous faces such as Tom Hanks or Angelina Jolie, and had booked their seat for 2015. A list of VIP passengers included more than 500 people who can afford such a special view . Now doubts about the safety could lead not only the postponement of such flights, but let tourism on our planet not so much the richer, as for the brave. -Writing –
