In Branson Behind the Mask, investigative reporter Tom Bower suggests Virgin Galactic may never achieve space flight. In all actuality there is little in Bower’s book that is not already known about Galactic’s dismal record so far. Branson is a sitting duck because he has so frequently over-promised on his bid to introduce so-called space tourism.
Here are some the key points the writer highlights:
Bower seems not to understand that all flight-testing is incremental. The pilots cautiously edge their way to maximum speed in stages. At each stage they have to monitor the behaviour of the whole machine as it experiences new stresses.
