What's all this negativity around a maiden flight failure. It's the norm in this industry not the exception. It happens to the best of the best. Space pioneer actually became one of the few companies in the world to have had a successful maiden flight when they launched TL-2.

That’s something I don’t understand myself. One failure of a new rocket(it’s the norm in over 95% of cases ) and people are claiming how space pioneer is a failure . lol I’m sure they will learn from the issue the rocket faced and get it fixed and launch again. That’s how it happens for every space launch provider with a new rocket .nothing new here.
As they say : “Success has many friends but failure has none“. lol
Couldn’t have been more true looking at comments on here . If this launch was successful , I’m sure you would have seen everybody here praising space pioneer as a leader in Chinas private space sector and how they are getting better and better to an everybody else , some could even claim they might be Chinas space X In a few years . lol life is funny , when you fail , even your friends don’t want to be associated with you, but when you are successful then you will see how people want to be your friend . Lmao

The biggest victim of the Tianlong-3 launch failure has emerged: Space Pioneer's custom-ordered celebration cake remains uncollected at a bakery. The shop owner has posted a sign reading, "Whoever ordered this, please come pick it up immediately."
That is an idiotic sign, people who decided not coming will never see the sign.

Space is hard. Which is why the first three flights of any given LV are the most susceptible to mishaps and mission losses.

Having said that though, the only way to fail, is to stop trying. Counting Space Pioneer out due to this is both premature and unwise.

True

Also remember that Space Pioneer is going with Kerolox engines whereas Landspace is going with Methalox engines.

Methalox engines have better lsp and also better reusability anyway. Starship and Blue Origin have both gone with Methalox.
