Very importantly, this hasn't been described as a "test failure."
No indication of what the test criteria were, if any. Some tests, especially those past design limits, are just for informational data.
- inferiorhuman 7y agoVery importantly, this hasn't been described as a "test failure." That was heavily implied: Sources tell KOMO there was a stunned silence after it happened. … an event occurred that forced the test team to halt testing. … The team is currently working to understand what happened and ensure the area is safe for work to continue. Edit: You're not going to silence the crowd with a successful test and you don't temporarily halt testing because of a successful test. Edit 2: Seattle Times says this explicitly: This ground test failure is another blow.
- i_am_proteus 7y agoYes, but this isn't the language they'd use if one of the test success criteria was "no door blows out" and then a door blows out. This is evidenced by their plan to "analyze the door and run the test again." If this were actually a test failure, they'd be "analyzing the door, redesigning a bunch of stuff, and running the test again."
