Statistically still a super reliable option.

[StevenIngram]

Just FYI, the Falcon 9 will resume launching on the 27th. So... 2 days until the next launch. ;)

[alyzeannassar]

Every 1 in 114 cars get in a car crash so even if its 1 in 325, its still about 3 times safer than driving a car

[Ultrex_Idk]

Its pretty normal for a rocket to have an anomaly, even in modern rockets

[carlostavaresjr]

Considering this is the first time I'm hearing of any Falcon 9 failures to date, let alone the second stage, I say is a reliable rocket!

[blackhawkr]

A second stage simply failing to ignite does not equate to it “blowing up”.

[strabe]

Is 0% failure a realistic expectation? If we applied that to cars or even aircraft, we would never go anywhere.

[michi]

At this point, they just focus on starship and start neglecting Falcon9

[TruealcoholicnAAAAt]

If you don’t use a SpaceX rocket, then your investors will sue you for not using the most reliable rocket

[erickrisler]

You can’t lie. I thought you knew something that none of us knew. Where is the the Falcon 9 that “blew up”

[christopherbuss]

It is so stupid to ground a fleet of vehicles for a single one off failure.

[ciudadanubis]

Starliner flew with leaks and two brave astronauts. It flew anyway.
Falcon is an extremely reliable rocket, Spacex will find the malfunction (it didn't blew), simply didn't reach the correct orbit.
Sometimes i feel that Spacex is subject to stricter regulations than Boeing.
And in the long run, is better for Spacex, forcing them to be even better.

[DaveWood-ip]

Not true. Out of date. Correct immediately or stop posting. Falcon nine had a 100% completely successful launch since this and nasa approved moving forward….

[leemoreylll]

Old news.Should post dates. Space X is flying after a short break. Elon doesn't move slowly...

[RussellOsborne-mhck]

Nothing's ever perfect this just shows every so often this probably will happen when you're pushing boundaries you're expecting it to

[shadowmancer]

So dumb. The government should ban driving every time there is a car crash, until an investigation determines the cause.

[jasmijnariel]

Private spacewalks.... meanwhile we have to drive electric for "global warming" 🙄🙄

[li]

Improvement can't happen without failure.

[devlinwalters]

Did it really "Blow UP" or was it an anomaly?

[AlliedBroom]

They most likely will cite the large number statistics they have and all will be well. And besides, nasa kind of needs them given the situation with Boeing at the moment
