Default Launch Failure Review for 2006

still out there in the unflown flight envelope. As for that
"B-nut" thing, I think that DARPA/SpaceX have only been
able to determine the "most likely" failure cause.

Faith? Fly me a few successes. Then I'll start to "believe"!


I'm not asking for faith. I'm asking for an explanation why the first
launch has a one in two chance of success, while the second launch has
a one in three...
