Looks like the world will have to wait a bit more before earthlings can take a vacation in outer space. WhiteKnightTwo, Virgin Galactic’s passenger-carrying spaceship collapsed during its landing at the Mojave Desert on Thursday.
Technicalities weren’t disclosed, but apparently, it was due to a damaged left main landing gear.
No injuries were reported (whew!) However, this means that citizens of the world, most especially the 300 clients who already put down 200 grand for a ticket will have to be more patient because they obviously won’t be zooming out of the Earth’s atmosphere any time soon.
