I disagree strongly. SpaceX has always felt, especially to those in the industry, to have a blatant disregard for even basic elements of safety in their design and operation.
Do you realize that this company does more testing and more rigorous tests than other launch service provider?
- thelambentonion 10y agoSource? I've heard that they have more sensors and telemetry on individual tests, but I hadn't heard that they're more rigorous than other providers.

- 6nf 10y agoWell just one example: The static fire test that ended in the explosion is not even done by other providers.
- manicdee 10y agoOne recent example is SpaceX doing the pad abort test, and a planned in-flight abort test for their Dragon 2 capsule, while Boeing is doing their testing on paper.
- thelambentonion 10y agoI don't think that's completely accurate. While Boeing is not going to do an in-flight abort test, they will be doing a pad abort test in October 2017. A technical demonstration of the abort system was one of the requirements of the requirements of the Commercial Crew Transport program.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoDo you know where I can review the test methodologies and summary results of the top providers in space launching?
