But Virgin Galactic hasn’t exactly covered itself with glory with respect to predicting dates of first service. I’d be more inclined to believe this latest declaration if the Mojave crew manages to light their candle a second time within a month of their maiden effort of April 29. If they don’t run powered again by May 29, I think we can safely ignore any noise about first service in 2013.
