In their mind a “successful” launch is likely one that doesn’t explode.

If reporters are doing their job, yes. Also, the headline isn't meant to be the full story. - TWuG Apr 20, 10:05 2
- Reporters don’t write the headlines, and it’s precisely the headline I’m faulting here, because that’s all most people will see. - znufrii Apr 20, 10:09 1
  - Nah, it's maybe clickbait: "A success, but it exploded?" The failure is with people who think that and then fail to read the article. - TWuG Apr 20, 10:13
