r.t. baikonur a number of experts we had folks say space flight still carries serious risk despite an fonts in technology. i think this is a launch to say you know this launch today is a big lesson the engine is kind of us they need to really assess what happened with this or why it failed and how they can prevent this from happening in the future no doubt. tests will be made to make sure this won't happen again you know not a lot of pressure i believe on us to make sure that things like this don't happen it was a manned action which couldn't risk life so this is something that needs to take into consideration and many other space agencies will know from this is all to make sure there's something to them of course we need to learn the details of what exactly happens and how they safely got away with it but i i am assuming that a major part of that has to do precisely with the fact that they are well prepared to even though all the show you say it's been one of the most reliable rockets around and for many years nothing has happened it remains a risky business and if you make for example the
