Aerospace Development 101: RULE 1: DON'T REPEAT THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST RULE 2: DON'T FAIL IN UNEXPECTED WAYS The slow flight termination system was especially terrifying: What should have been an unzip-boom was more like a slowly deflating balloon that took 50 seconds to go boom. If the rocket went out of control at low altitude, someone or something would have been bombed with the largest human created non-nuclear explosion (a fast FTS reduces damage by at least an order of magnitude). At least this will get resolved by the next flight.
