And wall to chuffing wall news coverage. One dead is a tragedy for the pilot's family but hardly global news.

Lots of people died before we got the hang of air travel. Of course, 100 years ago we didn't have globalised media and social networking.

No offence to the deceased meant but I still dont know the dead pilots name which indicates all this news is about it being Richard Bransons venture one wrong, the money involved, the set back, drop in shares....basically boils down to money and a giant punch in the eye for Richard Branson which is great news for all interested in space travel, modern disasters and such

To paraphrase the old joke, 'What do you call a space-ship full of obscenely rich people going on a potentially deadly journey?' 'A start.'
