Test flights.

My tests keep failing until I fix all of my code, then we deploy to production. If code fails in production than that's a problem.

We could say that rockets are not code. A test run of a Spaceship surely cost much more than a test run of any software on my laptop but tests are still tests. They are very likely to fail and there are things to learn from their failures.

Do your tests require tens of millions, and can have potential casualties?

Running a code test doesn't require firing a rocket.

How would you test a rocket?
