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.
