    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.

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

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

          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.

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

                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.
