Statement from Scaled Composites on SpaceShipTwo Crew
“The Scaled Composites family lost a respected and devoted colleague yesterday, Michael Alsbury, who was the co-pilot for the test flight of SpaceShipTwo. Peter Siebold, the Director of Flight Operations at Scaled Composites, was piloting SpaceShipTwo. He is alert and talking with his family and doctors. We remain focused on supporting the families of the two pilots and all of our employees, as well as the agencies investigating the accident. We ask at this time that everyone please respect the privacy of the families.”

  1. “We will never forget [him], nor the last time we saw
    [him], this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of
    God.”

    Rest in Peace Michael Alsbury. Praying for his family and for the recovery of Peter Siebold.
