Could have waited 'till bonfire night.

No good posting about rockets on GD John, unless there are connotations leading to racism, religion, politics or immigration.

Rocket science will just baffle 'em.

I bet those ISS dwellers will miss their crab cakes.

Second hand Russian engines...

Anyone getting into a manned private launch needs their head examined...

Good luck Branson

Could it possibly have been an ISIS bomb?

This is why you don't use Russian made NK-33 engines that have endured 50 years of being in a warehouse in Siberia.

They should have sold them to hamas.

Could have fed an entire african state for a year at what that cost most probably - very strange species we are

Nigeria has a space program yet we send them millions in aid.
