You made the comparison first. Are you taking it back then?
- computerex 2y agoJesus please go back to reddit. I was simply pointing out that Soyuz has had a LOT MORE launches than Falcon 9, literally over a thousand more, so no one can in good faith that Falcon 9 is more reliable given the numbers and statistics.
- BobbyJo 2y agoBut they can claim, in good faith, that Soyuz is? Im afraid thats not how logic works. Either the error bars are too large to take a position, or they aren't. You can't have it both ways.
- computerex 2y agoFact remains that Soyuz has over a thousand more launches than Falcon 9 with an average success rate of 98% over all its variants. It's the single most reliable launch vehicle mankind has ever made.
- BobbyJo 2y agoA thousand more isn't very much when you consider "Soyuz" (the way you're using it) has been around since the 60s. Falcon 9 had its first flight in... 2010. Id personally rather ride Falcon, but to each his own I guess.
