I must say, at the very least, I find the contrast is rather funny.
New organisations were parroting SpaceX's euphemism of a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”, to the extent there was a headline saying it was “actually good news”[1]. Whilst there will be lessons learnt, and it’s obviously not easy to launch rockets, this doesn’t scream unequivocally good news.
> We would build multiple layers of fuel oxidizer, and then, we would get a run long enough up to really do something. We’d get a really exciting event. I deemed it “pre-unplanned disassembly” at the time. That problem really went away when we learned a little bit about fuel control and kept injectors and propellant temperatures a little warmer.
Same as with Tesla, you test new algorithms in production and deny the consequences. Someone believes that you can do Agile development with safety critical systems that involves real lives and severe consequences.
