Don ' t lend Jeff money . <| sep |> same rigorous inspections being a private companyThey still have to get certifications to launch government payloads . product of lesser quality for cheaper and wins more contractsNot really , because unreliable launch vehicles aren ' t acceptable to most satellite owners and operators . However , when it comes to putting a 1 , 000 lbs payload in near orbit heightsMore like 4000 kilogram . any malfunction could be extremely fatal to innocent bystandersFailures are not ideal , but the launch trajectory is designed to make loss of life events extremely unlikely . extremely high failure rate for the industry 92 % is inline with other providers such as ILS with ProtonM . If you look at it statistically , there ' s still a good chance it ' s more reliable than other launch vehicles based on its current record . ends up hurting someoneOnly if thousands of rockets consecutively explode should loss of life actually be a concern . massive unintentional damageOf their own pad ? If it starts going the wrong way , range safety will destroy it , otherwise it ' ll crash in the ocean .
