        @masonic23 @BBCBreaking I agree with you. The only objective of this project is financial gain; Branson admitted that, so worth a life?

        @BBCBreaking also, we appear to care a lot more about what Branson thinks about the future of the venture than the death of the pilot

        @BBCBreaking I wonder if the families of the pilots agree with this vain statement from Branson.
