But that’s only a matter of time. The problems with Falcon 9 have been piling up lately too. Musk is turning everything to shit that he built up over two decades just to feed his fragile ego.
From the launch statistics booster landing section of the wiki, looks like they’re in line with previous booster losses, as long as they don’t have too many more this year. But they aren’t above average yet.
It’s might also be relevant to note that the average age of the booster in their fleet is approaching 20 flights. It’s possible that we might eventually see an increase in booster losses, as they figure out what the upper limits of booster reuse are.
Noteworthy difference: None of the Starship flights were carrying customer payloads.

Yet another person who has no clue of the difference between waterfall and agile approaches.
Waterfall? You mean the approach that was literally invented in the original paper as a methodology so absurd that obviously nobody would use it.
What falcon 9 launch failures have there been? I don’t see any recent ones in the wiki.

I said problems, not failures.
What problems then?
Two booster losses. Several irregularities in second stage re-entries. Just off the top of my head. Seems like quality assurance problems to me.
Is it just that they’re launching more, so they have more irregularities?
