SpaceX themselves made a failure montage for Falcon 9

It's easy to forget how many failures that had, but look how far it has come, at this point I don't think they've had any major failures in 5+ years. Maybe a couple sea drone ship booster landing issues but zero mission failures in a very long time.
- sneak 6y agoThis is one of my favorite videos. On the SN9 explosion today my partner speculated that SpaceX should make one like this for Starship one day. :)

Scott Manley and daughter have a fun song about other failures, "You will not go to space today", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayu0GsrvKQA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayu0GsrvKQA I'm guessing the title is probably an allusion to this https://xkcd.com/1133/ https://xkcd.com/1133/.
