Good God man!
Haven't they suffered enough?

Maybe there really isn't an ebola breakout, it's just JB causing causing people to bleed through their ears.

Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

I'm sure we can all scrape some cash together for an Antares for Justin if the Virgin Galactic ride falls through.

I had a whole other expectation when I read the post title.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

You, sir, have a dirty mind.
Much like mine, in fact.

Maybe Top Gear could have him be the test pilot if they retry their Reliant Robin-based shuttle.

what do you mean by postpone holiday
|

Space holiday. Holiday in space - that was what this test mission was for. Some more details here[^].

Thanks.Then we should postpone that holiday.

At first, I wondered which holiday you were referring to as well. In the US, we follow the definition of holiday as "a day fixed by law or custom on which ordinary business is suspended in commemoration of some event or in honor of some person.", whereas in other parts of the world it is used to describe vacation.
I've often wondered why British English speakers don't use the term vacation.

I just hope they don't let it stop them and they can avoid the H&S nightmare that NASA has to live with.

I guess you could call it the price of progress but it is so sad that it has to happen.
For the crew person!

Back in the 50's a test pilot died every week. Just in Great Britain.

Then the stopped Monty Python from planning the tests

No joke, same thing in USA.

While it is tragic that the pilot was killed, and disappointing that SpaceShip Two was destroyed, at least it demonstrates the will behind the project. Virgin intends to make this work. Too many of these projects are safe, boutique demonstrations of corner technology bits, their sole purpose to bring in clueless investors to fund more worthless dog-and-pony shows.

I think the window on sub-orbital joy rides is closing fast and Branson is going to take a bath on this endeavor. Sub-orbital flight from point A to point B on opposite sides of the world is a different market.

A little girl asked her Mom, "Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?"
Mom replies, "No, because she is in heat."
"What's that mean?" asked the child.
"Go ask your father. I think he's in the garage."
The little girl goes to the garage and says, "Dad, may I take Belle for a walk around the block? I asked Mom, but she said the dog was in heat, and to come to you."
Dad said, "Bring Belle over here."
Being old school he took a rag, soaked it with a little gasoline, and dabbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and said, "OK, you can go now, but keep Belle on the leash and only go one time round the block."
The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash.
Surprised, Dad asked, "Where's Belle?"
The little girl said, "She ran out of gas about halfway down the block, so another dog is pushing her home."

I'm watching an Aussie show ATM, but it's not the first show I've seen where the producers seem to have decided to add a twitter feed pop-up would be a good idea.
I mean: Seriously?
OK, if it were some great philosophical debate (which no-one who has a twitter account would watch, anyway), fair enough; but essentially all it does is allow morons to display "me am moron! hur hur hur!" on screen in the homes of everyone who watches the show.
I have yet to see a single twit with content more meaningful, interesting, or thought provoking than my example above -- and I'm up to the seventh show of the series!
Am I just being a grumpy old bugger, or is it truly as fruggin' stupid an idea as I think it is?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
