The investor packet describes a steerable parachute recovery system in the case of a catastrophic event.

PS I also appreciated Mr Melendez's perceptive post

Some countries might get a little stressed out others really would take a crash with a grain of salt, However if the system worked well most would accept the risk. There are ways to minimize this, parachutes are currently used today on some small aircraft to prevent them form crashing, maybe something that that would work depending on the size of the aircraft. Remember we drop tanks and bulldozers from planes and they land softly. At least you could see it coming and get out of the way. BTW Mel would do instead of Mr Melendez.

<Would the general population trust having unmaned planes flying 60,000 feet above them?>

JMHO...I don't see how it would be any different than people living around any airport, or for that matter, anywhere in any part of a country where there is an average amount of air travel. My second thought is most of these people probably have a lot more pressing things on their minds then 10-15 airplanes providing communications flying 60,000 feet overhead.
