Virgin Galactic is trying to build a spacecraft. It ostensibly crashed when someone pulled a lever they were not supposed to.
The survivor, the Israeli Peter Siebold, says the British co-pilot who is conveniently dead was the one who did it.
Virgin Galactic has now suffered a huge setback to their program.
Which is beneficial to the Israeli Elon Musk who is also building spacecraft.
Quite a nice “coincidence” isn’t it?
Especially knowing there were Israelis on the US space shuttles that blew up……………
SpaceShipTwo’s unique tail section, which can ‘feather’ at an angle to help the Virgin Galactic spacecraft make a safe descent, unfurled as it was ascending during the flight that ended in a fatal breakup last Friday and without being ordered to do so. The ‘feathering’ mechanism isn’t supposed to be unlocked until the spacecraft reaches 1.4 times the speed of sound, but on the flight that crashed, one of the pilots moved the mechanism’s lock-unlock lever into the unlocked position earlier, at just slightly above Mach 1. SpaceShipTwo’s co-pilot Michael Alsbury, (top right) 39, died when the aircraft crashed in the Mojave Desert in California on Friday. Surviving pilot Peter Siebold, (bottom right) 43, was alert and speaking with family members and medical staff in hospital, his employer, Scaled Composites, said.
