alt Hacker News> Rockets failing in test flights isn't a bad thing.
I hate to be pedantic but for a whole host of environmental reasons, they are suboptimal, and it still incinerates money to lose a rocket during a flight test.

I've decided to stop making analogies on HN because, instead of focusing on the helpful part, people always take them way too far and then act as if they invalidated your original point.
In case you aren't aware, the whole codebase of Bun did not explode into debris just because it hit a bug. They can just fix the bug and recompile.

Yes, exactly this. SpaceX are super environmentally irresponsible, I wish they would follow the ESA/NASA development model that is so much better for the environment! So European.
Yes, building rockets costs money and is bad for environments.
