Accidents happen. Even to visionaries, even to NASA, even to people making dinner or having a bath--in fact, more frequently to people cooking and bathing. An accident, like that which happened to Rutan, is evidence of nothing beyond accidents happen.
As for you bridling "at the assumption that all we needed was for free-marketeers to get into the space race and all would be solved" one can only wonder what the state of passenger aviation would be if it weren't for "free-marketeers". Commercial aviation as you must know was funded in part in the early years by giving rides to the rich.
