It seems your the one perturbed by anything but “positive” talk.

Your elan is clouding your desire to know.

The Ares 1-X was said to be a successful launch also....however, Griffith legacy had a fundamental problem they didn't really want to talk about, somewhat like you, in that the Ares developed a buckle.

Successful launch you say because it accomplished what it set out to do.

There was a 3 hertz vibration systemic to the rocket being utilized apart from the original design being strapped to the sides of the ET.

That 3 hertz was a jackhammer vibration up the length to the payload. The fix was to add approximately 1200lbs of tare weight to dampen the effect, which wasn't present on the launch.

As I intimated, 1 or 2 launches don't make for success....we will see if they can hammer out the engineering problems on their sequencing...which I doubt due to too many variables.

It's why you were told thread, it's a test.

Driving rockets into orbit is dangerous and the complexities can routinely cause delays. From weather, to woodpeckers to mechanical issues..Launch delays will always occur.

When you launch complex rockets into space, sh*t occasionally happens.
