Thanks, seems like there's quite a bit of Visionary vs. Realist going on over there. Four dead so far. The article also talks about the same concerns voiced by a former editor for CNN who went public right after the accident with her concerns about how completely inadequate the motors are for "space" flight.
"Well, if the unthinkable happens, our company can always beg from kind souls on the web - that should drive down our premiums and make us look less heartless. Plus, after they donate we tell them that their opinions are worthless. Those internet suckers will probably believe us.
Pilot error? Hmm, let's revisit that liability release form he signed when hired. High five!"

The WSJ article sounds out all the old familiar themes in this private endeavor that have been the bane of good old NASA throughout time and how it runs the U.S. Space program. No difference other than NASA always had a bottemless well (U.S. tax payers) to keep drawing from and a bigger squad of spin meisters to spread the B.S. when needed.

Absolutely even NASA had their problems, remember the Rogers commission report, was a fascinating tale when that came out decades ago.

Probable cause released, a lot of references to inadequate training (e.g. FO apparently didn't realize unlocking could lead to spontaneous deployment)
