Today SpaceX’s Starship rocket blew up shortly after launch.

From the coverage from The New York Times:

That was enough for employees at SpaceX headquarters to cheer the performance — one employee sprayed a bottle of champagne on colleagues — and for Bill Nelson, the NASA administrator, to congratulate the company.

SpaceX writes on Twitter:

With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today’s test will help us improve Starship’s reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multi-planetary.

It’s an example of reframing failures into learnings and finding small wins. If a rocket explosion can be celebrated, so can our epic failures.
