Whether solid rockets are more or less likely to fail than liquid-fuel rockets is debatable. More serious, though, is that when they do fail, it's usually violent and spectacular.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Past experience, on the shuttle and the Titan rockets, suggests that large multi-segment solid rockets have a probability of failure of 0.5 to 1 per cent.
Rocket science is tough, and rockets have a way of failing.
Solid-fuel rockets can't easily be shut down on command.
There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
With engineering, I view this year's failure as next year's opportunity to try it again. Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as you can so you can make progress rapidly.
I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win.
I think a film is a failure if it doesn't have an emotional effect. That's the film's failure. Not if it doesn't deliver a message, but if it doesn't have emotional effect or visceral effect.
Ultimately there is no such thing as failure. There are lessons learned in different ways.
Don't think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success.
There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.
