I’m sorry, but you can’t just redefine “failure.” The recent SpaceX test flight had many successful aspects, but it also had several failures. SpaceX may be happy that it learned a lot from this test, and it’s one of SpaceX’s best traits that it learns from its failures. But just because it didn’t destroy its launch pad this time doesn’t erase the fact that it did so the last time. Just as a Derek Jeter home run doesn’t erase a previous strikeout from the record books. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/heres-why-this-weekends-starship-launch-was-actually-a-huge-success/
