As the bps space YouTube channel has shown, reliability is paramount in any launch, especially a guided launch.

That and people duck when shit flies at them, unless it’s supersonic, which again, as bps space has shown, control of a supersonic flight is extremely difficult to get right.

This is a guy who landed a hobby rocket like a tesla booster.

But at $100 a pop, you could have backups. (or payloads)
