UPDATE: SpaceShip2 Lost During Test Flight - Engine Issue?

This one is too close to home for truly objective comments.  Odds are excellent that I would list one or both pilots as a friend.  But at a news conference that just ended, Stu Witt, an administrator at the Mojave Spaceport, said that he witnessed the flight, that a new fuel was being used, and that the anomaly wasn't an event, but the lack of an event, which may point toward an abnormal light of the new engine.
