You learn more from a failure than from a success.

When I first saw the video I thought it was the video showing Pelosi’s reaction to Trump threatening to veto her “relief” bill.

In the early days of the space program there were plenty of failures.

My impression is that rocket engines are inherently unstable. All the things any design has to balance to avoid it blowing up or vibrating itself to pieces make it dicey at best.

They’ll sort it out. They have good engineers on staff (I know, I stole one from them!!!!). Falcon 9 wasn’t always as reliable as it is today. Starship will become that, and more.

I am guessing the 2 astronauts whose flight was scrubbed due to weather are wondering about their rocket flight....

Hopefully they remember to tighten the #3 hose clamp for the next test.

I don’t know.
The older rockets with much less computer power and less complexity behind them were still touchy, but now you add in so much more computer everything and make it so much more complex.
Just seems like its so much more easy to have a failure.
