SpaceX lost a Falcon 9 to one of these things rupturing. A car accident with these onboard sounds… unfun.

So the GP describes compressed air, while Falcon 9 rockets use cryogenic helium, oxygen, and RP1 kerosene.

So I got no idea how you can even compare these two completely different systems and go from a launch failure to an explosive car accident?
