They're just updating them aren't they? Probably adding a confirmation to switch to autopilot? I don't think anyone changed their story about it being user error.

Very badass. Always quite liked him. Seems slightly less Dr Evil than the others, well, besides having an island.

Elon would say "a bit below orbital velocity of 17,400 mph..."

I can appreciate the engineering that went into this, but it does seem more like a glorified amusement park ride or tourist plane than anything that ever aims to compete with what SpaceX or even Blue Origin are planning as far as actually transporting humans off of Earth to somewhere. Still cool to see another player in the field with a different approach having some success.
