10-11 years ago I followed the Ansari X Prize a lot. I have a fuzzy recollection that Peter Siebold, the surviving pilot, actually designed and, at least in part, programmed almost everything related to pilot controls (and lots lots more!) on the SpaceShipOne. If pilot controls are similar on SpaceShipTwo and poor design of them is blamed in the final NTSB report, then I hope Peter doesn't put too much blame on himself. Peter Siebold has given and achieved so much on this project, definitely a hero of mine together with Burt Rutan.
