Three employees are dead after an explosion during an hybrid rocket engine test at Scaled Composites. Rand Simberg has been following the story. Will this be private space travel's Apollo 1?
UPDATE: Instapundit reports that this LA Times story has more. The incident happened as technicians were testing nitrous oxide flow through a nozzle. This is a standard and generally safe test. Unless something catches fire, which is what appears to have happened.
