Yuri’s Night Supports the Explorers at Virgin Galactic

Santa Rosa, CA, November 03, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The Yuri’s Night team was saddened to learn this afternoon of the tragic accident in Mojave during the testing of SpaceShipTwo.

It is a disappointing fact that many advances in spaceflight are marred by human tragedy, but as most veterans of the space industry know, human spaceflight is difficult to achieve on the best of days. Virgin Galactic has been working hard to push the envelope of commercial space tourism and Yuri's Night hopes that they will continue to do so after this accident.

The team at Yuri’s Night stands with Virgin Galactic during this trying time. The Yuri's Night global team's thoughts are with the families of the pilots and with the engineers at Virgin, Scaled Composites, and The Spaceship Company who will work to learn from this tragedy. They urge the industry to remember that despite the setbacks companies may encounter, together the spaceflight industry will push forward and continue to reach the stars.
