#VirginGalactic: Another year, another delay. Months, even years go by, between #SpaceShipTwo powered flights. Officially everything goes fine, except that it often doesn't. Everytime commercial flights are right around the corner, but then the deadlines come and go...
...the technology is complicated. And the reality nobody seems to want to address is that the tech might not be robust enough to get to the flight rates that they've been promising for 17 years. SpaceShipOne tech was good enough to win a prize in 2004, but it doesn't scale well.
Chamath and Branson have taken enormous amounts of money out of the company while the schedule has slipped. Two years ago they went public predicting commercial flights in June 2020. Latest projection is Q4 2022. Slipped about 2.5 years in 2 years.

Day when man first walked on moon. #Apollo11 #spaceflight carried Commander #NeilArmstrong and lunar module #Pilot, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. National Moon Day proclaimed in 1971 by then #US #USA #President Richard Nixon to honor #Anniversary of man's first moon landing.
Not only celebrates #historical human landing on moon but also opened opportunities for #future #Missions.

On Tuesday, July 20, 2021, the founder of Amazon, @JeffBezos, is all set to fly to the edge of space along with three others, aboard his company @blueorigin's New Shepard rocket.
Surpassing the #troposphere and #stratosphere, the space flights of @blueorigin will fly to the edge of space, about 100 km above the Earth’s mean sea level—the Karman line, also called the ‘edge of space’.
As @richardbranson, @JeffBezos & @elonmusk race to get into space, I’m reminded of that Gil Scott Heron song:
“I can't pay no doctor bill
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still
(while Whitey's on the moon)”

Gil Scott/Heron’s stand-up was very funny & always ‘political’
“When I went to see “Jaws”, I identified with the shark. Jaws was the home team. He was in the water. This is where sharks are known to be. You go to the beach, he goes to the supermarket.”

#RichardBranson and #JeffBezos will fly in industry w no mandatory safety regulations to protect passengers & crew. FAA's only focus is making sure that people and property on the ground are not injured or killed. The agency can't step in until there is an accident or close call.
A regulatory moratorium was put in place in 2004. It's been repeatedly extended and will expire in 2023 unless it is renewed. Purpose was to let companies experiment w different designs and approaches without burdening them with costly regulations.
Passengers fly at own risk after signing waiver. Companies required to lay out risks for them. New Mexico where #VirginGalactic #RichardBranson will fly #SpaceShipTwo #VSSUnity on Sunday has a law limiting lawsuits to cases of gross negligence or intentional harm.
