SN8 accomplished 99% of it's goals.  Yup the landing was a bit hard...lol....but dang it nailed the pad.  The technology to pull this off is simply amazing.  I was just happy to see it leave the launch pad, since it's been sitting there for a while.

Simply amazing flight!

Virgin Galactic unexpectedly aborts test flight of space plane

By Jackie Wattles, CNN Business

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/12/tech/virgin-galactic-test-flight-scn/index.html

Quote
Virgin Galactic's supersonic rocket plane was scheduled to fire into the upper atmosphere Saturday, but after climbing more than 40,000 feet over New Mexico attached to its mothership, the space plane made an unexpected turn toward home rather than shooting skyward.

The company confirmed that the space plane, which was carrying test pilots CJ Sturckow and Dave Mackay, safely landed.

"The ignition sequence for the rocket motor did not complete," the company said via Twitter. "Vehicle and crew are in great shape. We have several motors ready at Spaceport America. We will check the vehicle and be back to flight soon."

The root cause of the issue was not immediately clear.

This mission was meant to be the third test flight of VSS Unity to exceed the 50-mile mark, which the US government considers to be the beginning outer space. This was also supposed to be the first rocket-powered test flight Virgin Galactic carried out in New Mexico, where a glitzy spaceport paid for by more than $200 million in mostly taxpayer money, has been waiting for nearly a decade for Virgin Galactic to move in and open for business.
