News stations going wild with the explosion that kills three, stating it's a "profound" setback to the private-sector's pursuit of space, to which I reply, Nonsense!

The whole reason for having a private sector on this is to get beyond needing to endure a "national tragedy" every time somebody gets killed.

If people are willing to take the risk, you let them try.

No tragedy.
