Default Js3 jet catastrophic failure.

Dave - those statistics are from 2008 so before jets became popular. I think jets will eliminate many of the problems encountered with traditional systems, but the e-systems may eliminate them completely. It will be interesting for the project to be re-run with a decades worth of improvements to the self-launch and particularly sustainer systems.
