You must be trolling.
Do you have any idea how many completely uneventful flights Falcon 9 vehicles have flown? The most recent version (the FT which had its first flight in 2015) has had precisely zero failures across 254 launches.
They have a better safety record than any other launch vehicle in history, including the Saturn V and the Shuttle.
The deaths stemming from those programs have held back interest in manned space exploration more than any failed test flight ever will.
- mcpackieh 3y agoYes, wheelerof4te is trolling. He's a Moon landing denialist, but he likes to beat around the bush a lot (e.g. waste your time) before getting to that. Asking a lot of dumb questions like "if [whatever rocket] is so advanced then why hasn't it been to the Moon?" In his mind the answer to these questions is that we've never been to the Moon in the first place. I remember him doing this routine in another thread earlier this week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38261198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38261198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38260917 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38260917 Don't waste your time with him.
