Business, Space SpaceShipTwo June 27, 2013 Rand Simberg 8 Comments They were supposed to have another test flight in June. Only three days left.
Surely, it will not be an embarrassment if the test flight happens in July? Why the concern? The whole program has been a succession of delays.
It’s not about embarrassment. It’s a potential sign that the engine test anomaly last month may have been more serious than they’ve let on.

Maybe they’d go a little faster if anyone else was on their tail, but it kinda seems like everyone is using VG as the pace car.

Better safe than soon.

In a race, cars line up on the tail of the pace car.
I don’t think that anyone is doing that, let alone “everyone.” All are operating at their own pace.
