    This is a spacecraft failure? Did Vulcan still do alright I hope?

      Nobody really knows yet what caused the damage. It might be something is broken about the lander itself, it might be Vulcan shaking something loose or the fairing impacting the lander, or anything really. It might also be pure bad luck and the odds conspiring together.

      we DO know Vulcan got it into the correct orbit, that worked fine.
