In the aftermath of a tragic explosion of Virgin Galactic Space Ship Two, the company is back on track for its proposed tests in 2015. Space tourism is still in the offing despite the recent test flight failure over California Desert which killed the pilot Michael Alsbury and gravely injured the other. The Street revealed that CEO George Whitesides of Virgin Galactic, expressed his optimism over the spacecraft that is currently underway.

It was alleged that the accident was due to engine failure, considering several warnings were aired before the test flight. However, The Economist revealed that America's National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) provided updates on their investigation saying that the rocket is intact and the fuel containers are found. The breakdown could be due to aerodynamic stress.

Space Tourism opens new frontiers and it is no joke. Aerospace Burt Rutan, he was the engineer who conceptualized this move to take passengers and let them experience space travel for Virgin Galactic. NASA also extended sympathies to Virgin Galactic immediately right after the happened incident, because although it was not a NASA's mission, it involves many people who also have devoted their lives to space exploration, something that is indeed too difficult to undertake and thus, worthy of commendation.

In connection to this, the company has a deposit of approximately $80 million from around 700 reservations of space tourism enthusiasts, and said to include celebrities like Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher, and Leonardo DiCaprio. There was also a writer from New York named Jim Clash who also holds a reservation ticket with a 10% deposit and he is still eager to push through with it despite the failure of the Space Ship Two, LA Times reported. He knows, just like the rest who had tickets that it could be dangerous and complicated, that is expected of rocket science.
