SpaceX Starship rocket explodes minutes after launch from Texas
People want to see 100% success in all things. But that isn&#x27;t very economical. Compare the SLS to Starship.<p>SLS has had a 100% success rate. One launch, one success. But it costs $2B per launch (and climbing) and has taken 12 years to get here. Plus, it&#x27;s stealing pieces of the Space Shuttle, which was developed in the 70s over a long period of time.<p>Starship will launch a half a dozen &quot;failures&quot; before they achieve success, but they will have a bigger, better launch system that&#x27;s fully reusable and costs orders of magnitude less per launch.<p>&quot;Fail fast&quot; applies to more than just software.
