A quirk of #space #history put all the the anniversary dates for #NASA crewed spaceflight tragedies a few days apart in late January and Feb 1.
• #Apollo1 pad fire: Jan 27, 1967 (59 years, 3 dead)
• Challenger #STS51L launch explosion: Jan 28, 1986 (40 years, 7 dead)
• Columbia #STS107 re-entry breakup: Feb 1, 2003 (23 years, 7 dead)

Apollo 1 - Die wahre Geschichte - Die ganze Doku | ARTE

Die 60er Jahre sind geprägt vom Wettlauf ins All. Die USA wollen eine bemannte Mondlandung realisieren. Die erste Apollo-Mission soll den Weg dafür ebnen, doch sie endet in einer Katastrophe. Die Astronauten Gus Grissom, Ed White und Roger Chaffee kommen bei einer Explosion ums Leben. Ehemalige NASA-Verantwortliche und Hinterbliebene erzählen die Geschichte dieser drei Pioniere.

Yes, SpaceX will eventually have a lives-lost incident, and it will be ugly. How the market / investors take it I have no prediction for.

But NASA has had several of those types of accidents over the years, so the waterfall / perfection model isn't immune to them, either. The two shuttle losses were due to bureaucracy that defeated NASA's safety culture, and the Apollo 1 debacle showed that their vaunted safety and technical reviews actually could miss something very important - several things simultaneously, in fact.

I think it's unfair to compare SpaceX's current test-to-failure of Super Heavy and Starship to human-rated missions from anyone. They did the same test-to-failure rapid development with Falcon 9 and Cargo Dragon, leading to Crew Dragon, and they haven't had a life-lost incident yet. They're not deliberately testing-to-failure with humans on board.
