Richard Branson 'determined' to learn from spaceship crash
Reuters  November 1, 2014 1:32 PM



SEATTLE (Reuters) - Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson said on Saturday he was working with U.S. authorities to determine what caused a passenger spaceship being developed by his space tourism company to crash in California, killing one pilot and injuring the other.

Branson arrived in California to meet Virgin Galactic employees and officials from the National Transportation Safety Board, which he said would handle all work and official comment on the investigation.

He also said he was "determined" to learn from Friday's crash of SpaceShipTwo, which went down in pieces during a test flight in the Mojave Desert, 95 miles (150 km) north of Los Angeles.

Of all the employments, working in the the brood pit was at once the most horrific and the most desirable. Horrific for what we saw occur day after day, and because of the very nature of the sessile native lifeforms. Desirable, because having been chosen to work in the pit, you were highly unlikely to be one of its victims.
