I guess the standards for success have changed. Tesla, a private company, is a success, but it couldn’t exist without government bailouts and subsidies. Solar power is a success, but it can’t meet the energy demand. Here we have a rocket ship that was supposed to make a round trip, except it crashed and blew up on landing. But it was a success!

Yeah a success that ranks up there with the Titanic and Hindenburg. Who can forget Franz Reichelt who was the first to parachute from the Eiffel Tower?
