I am not sure that cheaper designs mean higher risks. Technology has improved a lot in rockets just as it has in cars.

- simonblack 3y agoTechnology has improved a lot in rockets just as it has in cars. For thirty-odd years, the US bought powerful Soviet/Russian rocket engines instead of building its own. Its rocketry and metallurgy knowledge-base is only just now getting back to where it was around 1970. (That's basically a loss of 50 years of skills and manufacturing.)
