PROLOGUE
On 31st October 2014, Virgin Galactic’s Spaceship Two test flight crashed. It was declared that a serious
functional anomaly caused this failure. But in July 2015, the US National Transportation Safety Board
(USNTSB) has declared that the failure is due to human error which is in turn due to inadequate training.
The spaceship is designed to carry passengers to space. The 21st century is which is the ‘Era of
Knowledge’ is posing umpteen challenges for the mankind. Climate change, global warming, El Niño and
La Niña etc. pose a great threat to the life on mother earth.
