They’ve had many successes. Don’t let one failure shut down the program.

    No such thing as 100% success in that business. Worst part is that it looks like the wreckage fell back on the pad. To quote Susan Ivanova:

    “No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There’s always a boom tomorrow. What? Look, somebody’s got to have some damn perspective around here! Boom. Sooner or later. BOOM!”

    One nice thing about working on tactical-size motors – our failures aren’t quite so…wow.

    This should provide an interesting twist to our (ATK) merger with Orbital in the next few months.

    That’s what you get when you buy your 1st stage tank from the Ukrainians.
