That is an amazing piece of editorial bullshit.

Absolutely. And he's missing a key point, that the fuel leaks were caused by vibrations in the fuel lines causing resonance. Overpressurization tests do not reveal those problems, they simply simulate pressure and not the stresses and vibrations of launch.

This whole article is bullshit

As someone who hadn't seen elsewhere what caused the failures it highlighted both the fires that took place, the communication failure and the self destruct. The title is shit but what else were you looking for?
