Because of Murphy’s Law, True Engineering is having 100 failures until you work out the kinks. And even then you have failures. It’s not surprising that this Lunar Lander tipped over. It’s Part of the engineering process. Always be leery when engineers say they got something to work first time…

A funny thing happened on the way to the moon…

Give ‘em enough time and enough money, and engineers can eventually overcome their biases and age-old educational misconceptions and learn from failure that they’d been wrong about those.
