Are you seriusly trying to claim the headline referring to the specific failure of a specific component is trying to say the wjolenlaunch was a failure just to avoid saying you where wrong.

Well that's your hill to die on. But you clearly see there's a general bias to exaggerating failures of in this example Chinese launches, while western launches are treated technically accurate or even leniency. As your own example show, the word failure isn't used untill they're talking about the specific failed component, not for the launch.

Meanwhile the Chinese launch is a failure despite a successful first stage on a first of its kind rocket testing new tech.

Anyway. You're being purposely obtuse and trolling just to troll and argue at the this point. I'm not sure why, it's no exactly a secret that western news are biased to western achievements...

No I didn't say specifically failure in the title. I said the titles are wired very differently when referring to western vs other launches.

With the Chinese headline the launch is called a failure. NEVER IS the launch referred to as a failure with firefly alpha. You do understand basic grammar enough to see that? They're referring to the specific failure, not calling the launch a failure.

It's not that hard.

Trolling trolling trolling

Do you understand the massive grammatical different between "firefly alpha failure" and " fireføy alpha launch failure"?

I know the answer, you don't, and if you didn't, you're to much of a redditor to admit you're wrong.

You only need to show your ignorance in one post.

Also old and established technology, that wasn't very good to start with.

It's mostly truenwith developing and new rockets and technology.

Spaceship ha st had a single test flight that hasn't ended in a spectacular fireball. But also lot a single "failure". All but the last was expected to explode, the last wasn't unexpected either.
