The irony is that we're all "fail fast" until something actually fails fast.

- onion2k 4y agoSpaceX has taken 21 years to get to this point. They have not failed fast. They have seen a long series of huge successes from doing some incredible engineering. Today's test is a small part of that journey.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI'm surprised this statement was downvoted. It's absolutely correct. SpaceX is a great demonstration of an "ideal mix" of new and old. It has a lot of "classic" "measure twice; cut once" planning, but also an absolutely essential "YOLO" mindset for live testing, which can cause big failures, but also give the most valuable data. Their manned flights have been great (except for that toilet thing...).
- version_five 4y agoThe people who say that are usually talking about designing a landing page that doesn't get enough signups or something. You can really tell if a company has a culture of embracing failure if they're cool with you blowing up a spaceship.
