What we have is two "qualifying" flights in July/August, separated by a
month, two hardware failures and a couple of weather failures. So, by
your own admission, they couldn't do it.

Please explain how not doing it proves they couldn't do it.

"two hardware failures and a couple of weather failures."

I would think that you could read at least that much of the paragraph.

You're reading the failures as "given some luck and a few more tries,
they might have been able to do it," while I read it as "they tried to
do it and failed."
