So where are the “successful” tests and what is their ratio to “failed” ones?

You seem to know very little about how systems development in aerospace works, based on the pattern of your assertions.

You don’t stage a hundred failures to have 1 or 2 successes. You need to have confidence if your system works or not and what the reliability rate is.

“OK, I see what you mean.

That makes sense if the image is basically a time exposure capturing every event from launch to expiration of the booster(s) of all stages.

You’re asserting, though, that this crazy-a$$ missle’s trajectory, spinning like a top, actually made it into low earth orbit where gravity didn’t deform the perfectly circular spiral swirl resulting when the nozzle locked hard to one side and expended the remainder of its fuel, right?

Seems a miracle that it made it into space, considering the deformation of flight path apparent from lift off onward. Also, there is no downward drift to the background spiral which one would expect if the expelling body was still in motion, either following a sub-orbital trajectory, or falling to earth.’

Hot dang! I was just thinking the SAME thing!!! ;)

If you find yourself thinking the same thoughts as The Comedian, seek professional help immediately. Alternately, seek a single malt scotch, and bask in the glow...

Crazy Ruskies, blowing up rockets for light shows. Just use lasers like we do!

They should take up performance art, though it's a bit expensive.
