  Not really, SpaceX would just sell that as an unscheduled disassembly + “we collected data”. It’s widely accepted that you may die going to space in experimental vehicles, nobody ever said it would be safe, and nobody can reasonably think it is risk-free. Apollo 1 folks died, not a problem for reputation of NASA.
