Comment on SpaceX rocket explodes during testing over Texasparent

Comments

> Ariane 5 is not the predecessor of Vega.

I stand corrected. The point is that the ESA's rocket program is far from flawless as your "3 from 3" post above suggests.

>> SpaceX has had an amazing run in comparison to most other platforms.

> Clearly that's not the case.

From the article, this was a TEST flight. Exploding rockets is an expected part of the development process.
