Hard week for the exploration of space. First was the news of the explosion of the Antares rocket with Cygnus on board and more recently Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo had a malfunction that caused the ejection of the two pilots where one sustained severe injuries and one didn't make it. It has been learned that Antares was in fact destroyed on a command by Orbital Sciences due to a change in telemetry that they feared would end in disaster but no word (for me at least) on SpaceShipTwo.

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
