Breaking: SpaceShipTwo suffers "anomaly" during test flight

Details about the anomaly weren’t immediately released.

Virgin Galactic has planned for years to sell trips in which SpaceShipTwo transports passengers about 62 miles above Earth — the beginning of outer space — and let them experience a few minutes of weightlessness before returning to ground. Friday’s test flight began in Mojave, California, the company said.

It’s the second incident in a week involving the commercial space industry.
