I don't think that it should. This was a completely different stack than what the Russians use for launching people, the Russian manned mission success rate is damned impressive, and the US has had a fair number of their own failed probes.

It's oddly satisfying to see the word "stack" used so literally on a website where most news is software-related.

That's a good point... I do forget, manned vs. robotic are two completely different ball games.

That and the launch system to LEO worked perfectly. It's the probe/upper stage that failed.
