Will it go boom?

"That the rocket got off the launch pad was a major success." Participation trophies all around!

It was a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" You can't make this stuff up. Unless you work for SpaceX. :laugh:

OT: You are embedded guru aren't you?

[honey the codewitch]

I wouldn't call myself a guru. I'm still trying to get my head around ARM development, and get outside the IoT/Arduino end of things. I'm told I'm a fast learner though, and that's what's on my plate right now. Still, I may be able to help with your question (I saw your post downthread) just because what I do intersects with embedded principles all the time.

I can’t say I have been in touch with everything taking place in the field but I haven’t heard of failed rocket launches for quite some time.

but, but it's supposed to be simple rocket science !!

No, it was "deferred success". (That, a few years ago, was what teachers in my area had to explain failed exam results as. Seriously.)

Telegraph marker posts ... nothing to do with IT Phasmid email discussion group ... also nothing to do with IT Beekeeping and honey site ... still nothing to do with IT

RUD (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly) has long been an 'inside joke' term in the space industry. SpaceX didn't create the term, and is very far from the first to have it apply to their operations.

Yeah... it went

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Does that make it an "award winning rocket"?🙄

[maze3]

expectations of public vs the people who built it and what they actually testing for I feel this from project dev, on agreeing months ago will release proof of concept for feedback and will only have X features. then the first feedback is, "it doesn't do Y" 😒you approved that it wouldn't

If nothing else, it was extremely successful in removing concrete and dispersing it widely...

SpaceX certainly has them. There was at least one other failure or sorts. Another country perhaps? They attempted to launch a satellite (spy?) and it failed to separate or failed to activate. Something like that.
