The lucky ones will be able to trave this summer (but only the lucky ones).

The article from CNN, that I've read today is written by Nathan Kay, and it's about tourism during the upcoming summer. To partly unfreeze the tourist market, some countries are going to allow those who are already vaccinated to travel this summer using for example, like Denmark, the coronavirus immunity passports. This of course means that some injustice is going to occur. As we know, older people have a much bigger chance to be vaccinated before the holiday. Some people, especially younger ones, are criticizing such a solution because of that. I don't argue that this isn't fair.

This is the reason why it must be very safe  (by space flight standards of course). In my opinion that it's better that the new prototype failed, because it gave its engineers (and other members of the team that's responsible for this project) the new important information. It's better that it's the prototype that exploded and not the final version with the...
