stix Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) I gotta big laugh when I read the explanation or un-explained reasons why Elon Musk's SN9 and SN10 basically blew the f*ck up!!!, to then say it was a "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly". I absolutely love that! So much more sophisticated than "CATO" which I think means "CATastrOphic Failure At Launch". Could be wrong. In any case RUD should be the new one. ????? Cheers.

SeaMonkey Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Yep, it's a goodun'. I too love examples of creative, innovative thinking. New ways of saying that Murphy's Law is alive and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uarbor Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I thought c a t o was catastrophe at takeoff? I think I had one the first time I tried to make a rocket with a report. The report went off upon ignition of the rocket while it was still in the pipe. But the Rockets still took off and performd normally. There must have been some kind of leakage in the bulkhead or a crack or something but I'm surprised that it took off and flew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 RUD is straight forward, no room for interpretation while CATO means something different to the fashion conscious and liberty conscious altogether. At PGI, I think RUD was the term of the year at the rocket line in 2019. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
