"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…"
