C'mon noww.
That failure rate of 12.5% totally SUCKS.

If you count both launches, it is more like 3 failures out of 48. Still disappointing. I've never thought of the A8-3 as a problematic motor, having flown so many of them since the 1970s.

If there is a problem, I wonder why more MESS reports aren't being filed? Even the other example in this thread was not reported.
