VG Incident

Virgin Galactic experienced what seemed to be a minor glitch recently when the left main landing gear of the WhiteKnightTwo aircraft collapsed upon landing after a test flight. VG says no major damage was done. The WhiteKnightTwo will carry the SpaceShipTwo on its commercial, suborbital flights. At altitude, SpaceShipTwo will separate from the mothership and use its rockets to reach the edge of space.

If all continues to go well, VG plans to commence commercial flights next year.
