In reply to Robert Zimmerman. I liked the fuzzy dice hanging from the ceiling, good luck charm? engineers being superstitious?

If the craft survived in reasonably good shape, would that also indicate it would have been a survivable crash had people been on board? If so, that might also be impressive.

Hopefully more information and videos will be released soon. Sierra Nevada stressing this is hard work, but they can roll with the punches wpuld be more reassuring than the “nothing to see here, move along” typically given by PR flacks.
