So the pilot died in order to make Richard Branson's space tourists have a safer and more enjoyable weekend. Cool.

The pilot died trying to make a cheap, reusable orbiter a reality. The tourists are there to help pay for it.

It's not even that; it's suborbital.

Gotta establish a suborbital trajectory to reach orbit, though.

One step at a time.
