SpaceX Starship rocket explodes minutes after launch from Texas
People want to see 100% success in all things. But that isn't very economical. Compare the SLS to Starship.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's stealing pieces of the Space Shuttle, which was developed in the 70s over a long period of time.Starship will launch a half a dozen "failures" before they achieve success, but they will have a bigger, better launch system that's fully reusable and costs orders of magnitude less per launch."Fail fast" applies to more than just software.
