So the largest rocket ever was really just a big fireworks display.
That has to be an expensive failure.
Rockets are hard to get perfect, and they have to be perfect. The James Webb Telescope had a possible 344 single points of failure. Any one of those points of failure would have made the entire thing a monument to failure. Yet it came out spectacularly amazing and is changing the world's human knowledge of how the universe works.
It was also spectacularly over-budget and expensive and delayed. But perfection is expensive.
