Well, unfortunately, testing new craft does involve risk.
My thoughts are with the family of the dead pilot.
You can criticize Branson's space venture all you want as a diversion for the bored rich, but the fact is that the initial steps to offering large-scale access to earth orbit are going to be so expensive that only the rich or national space programs can afford it. I choose to believe that someday that will change.
