Only 1 failed due to some engine issue though. The rest was guidance related I think.* Tell you what why don't I actually read the wiki 1. Electronics issue

Tell you what why don't I actually read the wiki
1. Electronics issue
2. turbo pump exploded - material science
3. aerodynamics
4. blew the plumbing when 6 engines were planned shut down at higher altitude. I'd argue that's a control issue.
- jacquesm 9y ago1. The first launch did not fail due to that electronics issue though that was one of the first things to go wrong. The propellant leak caused by Engine #2 issues is what caused the rocket to fail. 4. Maybe if they had not shut them down that abruptly they could have avoided that particular failure mode. All in all a pity that that program got cancelled, I still think it is one of the most beautiful rockets ever built.
