This was not one of those launches where they expected a massive explosion from testing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago* (1 child) Does anyone expect an unplanned rapid disassembly? You pay people more and keep them working at their best by providing them with robuat benefits, time off, and job/financial security so they can account for, plan, and mitigate shit like this. But noooo, layoffs, and "don't tax me more, 40% of fed tax is payed by 1% of earners, which I'm not cause my income is 80K suckers! Work fast, break things, die faster slaves." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 2 months ago Does anyone expect an unplanned rapid disassembly? Jokes aside, there are test launches where new boosters are tested and they do expect catastrophic failures because they are still in the test phase.
