You know, also I'm slightly tired of that story (I mean it stings, my family works in the field), sometimes I feel like it's a good thing. Here in France, and with the elite political clique at the power even more, are afraid of risk. Our constitution was even emended towards risk-averseness. I think blowing up the GNP of an african country had various positive side effect: 1) risk is there, wether you have correctly signed the process paperwork or not 2) innovation feeds on blowups 3) be humble, stop being cocky on TV before a test launch, sending back the champaign and buffet was very painful to watch and there is no need for that.
