That is to say, it has failed three times out of three attempts so far. But you can tell that this last time it was ever so close to being successful.
Still, even a minor failure will result in an skull exploding kaboom, which is probably why there are all unmanned trials of course. At this rate, it could be several decades before one can launch a car sized payload and have it land successfully back on earth. That is if you consider that the space shuttle isn't really a space vehicle because it doesn't go geostationary.
