Yes you are right , the first stage cut out around 6 seconds early so the second stage had to make up for it , was just remembering wrong . The point I was trying to make is that all established organizations had failures in the past while their platform matured , SpaceX is no different . I wasn ' t attacking ULA , I really like the direction they are taking under Tory Bruno . Also I think that SpaceX could be in huge trouble if they continue to have issues after the AMOS 6 anomoly . They really need to get the Falcon 9 to be mature and the workhorse it ' s meant to be . We do have to acknowledge that they are breaking new ground with landing the boosters and cryogenic propellant . Time will tell if this will all pay off but they are pushing the envelope .
