Consider that the Saturn V rocket that took men to the moon 50 years ago never had a serious failure and was designed with slide rule engineering

Remember the tragic Apollo 1 fire. If I recall the investigation showed a lot of problems. Biggest being using pure oxygen but also revealed rushed designs, a system that awarded work to low bidders and shoddy work from subcontractors. It resulted in a massive overall and rebuilding of procedures and systems. If the fire wouldn’t have happened it’s unlikely the moon missions would have been successful
