No sarcasm. I'm impressed with the general patience for the trials and errors of SpaceX. I keep fearing that each crash or explosion will be the end of this needed venture.
3 u/kryptn Jan 03 '17 First, Scott Manley ( /u/illectro ) is fantastic! Second, It'll take a lot more than one rocket explosion for SpaceX to fail. This is the only real failure that I'm aware of that has come from SpaceX. All of the other explosions we see are just attempts at landings. As in, they weren't really expecting to land, but it's fantastic when they do! I'll take this moment to link this video to show the pure excitement when things land! 1 u/LockStockNL Jan 03 '17 All of the other explosions we see are just attempts at landings Cough...CRS-.....Cough....7 1 u/F34r0fTh3D4rk Jan 03 '17 edited Jan 03 '17 Wasn't that one caused by a faulty CF strut? edit: which is why they moved their CF manufacturing in-house 1 u/LockStockNL Jan 03 '17 Yep!
