90 million dollar example of Define-Prepare-Try-Reflect

Today is the launch of the SpaceX Falcon large. There are no humans on it because of the chance of failure. A student asked me why we were spending 90 million dollars on a something that might fail. I then redefined the launch process as part of the Define-Prepare-Try-Reflect process that we have been studying as part of the CSD program.
