Scaled Composites Family Support Fund, NSS

“As many of you have heard, there was a serious accident last week at Scaled Composites, Burt Rutan’s pioneering company. Three lives were lost, including Charles ‘Glen’ May, an NSS member who was a leader within NSS’s Huntsville HAL5 Chapter. In addition, three employees suffered serious injuries. Scaled has announced information on a fund for those wishing to support the families of the deceased as well as the injured and their families. The National Space Society urges all of its members to give generously to support these heroes.”

Statement by the Members of the Personal Spaceflight Federation Regarding the Recent Incident in Mojave

“After the work and sacrifice of many, the space frontier is now being opened by private enterprise. As leaders of companies and organizations who are engaged in this undertaking, we are committed to striving for the highest level of safety for the public, our customers and our employees. We can do no less.”
