Welcome to sdc, Comga!<br /><br />OK what the heck, I'm going to go out on a limb and make a prediction. I've said this before but not so overtly.<br /><br />I predict that SpaceX will NEVER have a catastophic launch failure. Maybe a few performance anomolies, but no big spectacular explosions.<br /><br />No doubt the professionals here will laugh at me, because "spaceflight is hard". I do not dispute that it is hard, but I believe that SpaceX knows what they're doing, and with their emphasis on reliability, they are going to be very successful. <br /><br />It's hard but it can be done. I see a launch delay, for the first launch at least, as a good thing (up to a point). As said, it is critical that the first launch go perfectly so if they want to take more time to get it right, I see that as taking care of business and not falling victim to launch fever.<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
