RIP to the pilot who died. I understand the other pilot is very seriously wounded as well. Major advancements are borne on the backs of people who made sacrifices like this.
I want to see private space exploration continue. Despite what the liberals will say, you could argue that private space flight has already been proven. The Apollo program that put men on the moon used technology designed by IBM, Honeywell, McDonnell/Douglas, Grumman, and so on. The reason it worked as a government program is because it was mostly military personnel who ran it like a military operation.
