There is a very important distinction between "launch failure" and "exploded rocket." MERELY failing to launch is safe. I am normally failing to launch while sitting in my chair. If they can lick the "exploded rocket" issue by substituting it with a mere "failure to launch" then that is great.



As the SpaceX president put it, it's an "abort" if you get to try again, and a "failure" if you don't.
