Anyone curious if the Russian hackers might be messing with some of this ?

Yes, but these guys weren't competing with them. Space Ship Two as a suborbital craft. Its top speed wasn't much above Mach 3.

There are photos of the mid air explosion out there. How on Earth one guy survived is beyond me. It wasn't a low altitude explosion.

You must not have heard about the lawsuit that Redbull is having to pay out because of that.
