"That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point."
"Well, how is it untypical?"
"Well, there are a lot of these rockets launching around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen… I just don’t want people thinking that rockets aren’t safe."
"Was this rocket safe?"
"Well I was thinking more about the other ones…"
"The ones that are safe."
"Yeah, the ones the payload fairing doesn’t fall off prematurely."
