Human error was responsible for the catastrophic 2014 crash of an experimental Virgin Galactic rocket ship that left the co-pilot dead.
Specifically, the "probable cause" of the crash was the "pilot's premature unlocking of the SpaceShipTwo feather system," the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday. The feather locks are essentially a braking system designed to allow the rocket to safely descend from space.
