Risk is rewarded, failure expected
“Our goal is to make it to orbit
without blowing up.
If the booster even does its job
and something goes wrong
[right after launch] with the ship,
I’ll still count that as good
progress.
Actually, to be totally frank, if it
takes off without blowing up the
stand, — ‘stage zero’ [the tower,
tanks, etc.] — , which is much
harder to replace than the
booster, that would be a victory.
That’s my number-one concern”.
