Commercial Spacecraft Crushed

A commercial space flight company Virgin Galctc lead by British billioneller Sir. Richard Branson failed its test space flight on Friday, killing one of two pilots. 
It never been identified the reason of the crash, but some said it happened because of the changing of its fuel. 
The company has planned that they will commence its commercial space flight in 2015, and Branson and his family will be on board the first one. 
Although they already have got 700 future space passengers, the plan will be a huge set back from the schedule they first planned. 
Space flight is one of our dreams, as I understand, but I don't think it worth to risk human's life. I doubt a private company can take responsibility for such a venturesome project. 
If a government failed a test space flight like this, the dead pilot would get a higher honor from the government at least. 
It's just a bold project. If Branson wants to go to space, he should try to do it all by himself alone.
