It's ok to just say, "You're right, I was wrong". Try it some time, you might be surprised how much better you feel about yourself.
If the Starship second stage failed to restart causing it to fail to get to TLI, or tried to take out its manned crew like 13 did, you’d be claiming it’s still a sterling safety record?
You’d have considered this test a success if it reached orbit “despite sustaining severe damage” on the way up?
Come on.

Fine. Same for Starship, so far.
“My hunch is that whatever happens, we'll see scenes of Apollo people clapping and cheering and Apollo fans calling the flight a success. From what they tell me, no Apollo launch has ever failed.”
