Kinda took the wink out of Sir Richard Branson, and Burt Rutan's sails. Or is it 'sales?'

Apparently people have been telling him for a while that it was a
dangerous design. They had already had a nasty explosion on an
engine test pad. No fault of Rutan's as far as I can see unless he
was the one advocating for the nitrous oxide engine that others were
taking exception to.
