This R&D covers the Virgin Galactic accident.  Last week, a test flight for Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo went awry and killed one of the craft’s test pilot.  Virgin is trying to pioneer private space flight, but some believe the accident will hinder its ability to take private citizens into space next year.
