RUD is very much a euphemism that has I guess drifted a bit from it's initialism; I'm pretty sure in this case the disassembly was planned and the survival case would have been unplanned.
- samatman 6y agoI take your point, but they're not planning for a launch failure even if they're pretty sure that's what's going to happen. What happened when most of the mass of a Space Shuttle launch hits the ocean: that's an RPD.
