I posted the numbers here last week. Something like 1 in 100 has failed, which includes the launches during initial development. I'm quite sure you realize that is an impressive record.

OTOH, these ARE rockets in development, so it is expected to have failures with some frequency.

It is the process. You are undoubtedly familiar with it.
