Three people were killed and three more injured as a result of an explosion during testing of a rocket engine at the Mojave airport/spaceport in California Thursday.
The workers were conducting the test on engines designed for SpaceShipTwo, the vehicle being developed by Scaled Composites to take passengers on suborbital flights under the Virgin Galactic banner.
Neither Burt Rutan, CEO of Scaled Composites, nor Sir Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Galactic, has as yet commented on the tragedy.
