SpaceX rocket launched but problem with thrusters

23. I agree.

I never did call this problem a catastrophe. Only that problems, whether catastrophic or fixable happen whether the entity in charge is publically-funded or privately. The member to whom I was responding seemed to think that only publically-funded entities should be doing space programs, maybe because their experience is tried and true. At least until they have another catastrophic accident.

No one is immune from mechanical failures and human error. And I applaud Space-X and all the rest for getting into space
