Anomaly: Flight Test terminology meaning non-conformance to test protocols.
Translation: "Our shite just caught fire and exploded, then departed the envelope."
Probable description by crew: "Ahhhhh, Test Control, we may have a slight problem, we have some anomalous instrument readings and the platform is non-responsive."
It takes big balls to do this kind of work, and the testing of aerospace equipment would likely terrify most people. I hope this doesn't kill the program. The things that aviators like BG Yeager did in the '50s and '60s would never pass the .gov risk-management matrix applied today. That's one of the reasons commercial aviation is usually 20-25 years behind the curve.
Private operators willing to take these risks are the future of aerospace development. Prayers for the crew and families.
