MOJAVE, California: A suborbital passenger spaceship being developed by Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic company crashed during a test flight on Friday near the Mojave Air and Space Port in California, killing one pilot and seriously injuring the other, officials said.

周五下午，英国亿万富翁理查德·布兰森旗下的维珍银河公司的载人航天器太空船二号在试飞过程中出现意外，坠毁在加州Mojave沙漠中，导致一名飞行员死亡，另一名飞行员重伤。

The crash of the vehicle, undergoing its first powered test flight since January over the Mojave Desert, 95 miles (150km) north of Los Angeles, came days after another private space company, Orbital Sciences Corp, lost a rocket in an explosion moments after liftoff in Virginia.

自从一月份以来，载人航天器太空船二号一直在洛杉矶北部95英里处的Mojave沙漠进行试飞。而此前数天，另一家私营公司轨道科学公司在弗吉尼亚州的一次发射爆炸中损失了一枚火箭。

The back-to-back accidents dealt a considerable blow to the fledgling commercial space launch industry, which has been taking on more work traditionally done by the US government while expanding for-profit space markets, including tourism.

接二连三的事故给羽翼未丰的商业太空发射产业造成了相当大的打击。而商业太空发射产业不断扩大包括太空旅游在内的盈利空间市场,，正接过传统上由政府主导的工作。

Television footage of the Virgin Galactic crash site showed wreckage of the spacecraft lying in two large pieces on the ground, and the company said the spacecraft was destroyed. Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said a debris field was spread over more than a mile.

坠毁现场的电视画面显示航天器的两大残骸散落在地上。维珍银河公司称航天器已经被摧毁。克恩县长官Donny Youngblood表示残骸散落在1英多公里的范围。

It seems Space travel for fun is not far away- maybe within next 10 years. Would it mean more pollution and squeeze & accidents in the sky?
看来去太空游玩不会遥远了，也许未来十年内能实现
这是否意味着天空中将会出现更多污染，会更拥挤而出现事故？

就纯粹的科学研究而言，私人公司总是走捷径。他们是受利益驱动的，而科学界追求的是知识。
