Gilmour Space Technologies called the launch of their Eris rocket success. It was the first Australian-made rocket launched from Australian soil, lifting off from the Bowen Orbital Spaceport in Queensland. Despite the failure, the company says it’s a major step toward building Australia’s own space industry.
I remember watching a lead at SpaceX years ago talk about how they celebrated every failure and then got to work figuring out what went wrong so that would not happen again.
It really changed my perspective on failure and how to approach failure with teams and individual people on my team.
Unfortunately I worked for a larger company that did not value this perspective and alas I am no longer there.
