Now THAT's Ironic

The NTSB has issued a report on its first investigation on the crash of an unmanned aerial vehicle.

The bottom line on the cause? Pilot error.

An official from the FAA has announced that, in regards to space tourism: "We authorize launch and re-entry," Montgomery says. "We have no jurisdiction in orbit. Going up and coming down, that's us."

So, the FAA can tell a spacecraft in a sub-orbital trajectory not to land? 'FAA to Space Tourist Flight 7, please violate the law of gravity, you are not cleared to land.'
