Failure isn’t just an option — it’s a requirement
Sometime next month, SpaceX will likely try to launch the largest rocketship ever flown, known as the Starship. If successful, this flight will herald a new space age, as humanity opens the solar system. This begs the question: Will it fail or will it succeed?
So, if it fails, what will it mean?
This is the biggest different between Elon Musk’s SpaceX and NASA!
Anyone familiar with space movies, or who have visited a NASA gift shop, knows the phrase “Failure is not an option.”
In truth, if one is to win at anything, failure is a requirement. We only learn by what we learn from making mistakes.
The exploration and development of space are no exceptions. Or rather, they highlight the rule.
There are four types of failures when launching a rocket or rocketship.
1. A new, untested tested technology or group of technologies fail.
2. An incorrectly tested technology or group of technologies fail.
3. Humans in the loop ignore rules or design criteria from their own plans or cut corners, usually for financial, performance, or political reasons.
4. Having had one of the three types of failures above, no learning has occurred, or learning did occur and was ignored, and they happen again.
Number 1 is an expected part of the development of any new complex system. Sadly, and by far, it is the second, third, and fourth failure categories that most often result in tragedy. The two most spectacular American instances of this were the space shuttle Challenger and Columbia disasters. In both cases, the failures were predictable, if not specifically identifiable.
While the case of the Columbia disaster is more complex and nuanced, in the case of Challenger, clear warnings from savvy employees were ignored because the show had to go on, and, sadly, people died.
