You gotta appreciate the guys who have to solve issues like why this rocket's second state lost communications. The actual hardware with the problem gets dropped into the sea and lost forever. All they have to go on is whatever telemetry they did receive from the second state, if they received any at all. Good luck figuring out the root cause of that one. Maybe they have some pre-flight test data or pictures taken of the hardware before launch they can look at for anything funny?
