How many rockets did it take the US or Russia in the biggening? Even before that and lets say the V2 or very early long range rockets, how many did 8t take to get that one successful launch with no failure? How many rockets destined for orbit still blew up even decades after multiple successful launches? How many rockets still blow up today by companies with thousands of successful launches under their belt. Rockets will still be blowing up a hundred years from now if propulsion is the same. Planes will still be falling from the sky. Cars will still be crashing. This is Murphys law and nothing to do with Australia specifically.

Failure in the science is a learning experience and not a reason to just say we can't do this, we might as well put more shrimp on the barbie and cull a few Emu's.
