Except that a plane has passengers. But this rocket had none. It did not even have cargo. And it crashed in a pre-evacuated zone. There is no need to have the same level of security for these two situations.

As another post said, just because a failure happened on this stage of flight, doesn't mean it couldn't happen on another, including a manned mission.

And the SpaceX flight that is grounded will have passengers.

No one cares about the booster that's already failed, they care about making sure others don't.

Yes but the one that they grounded is not some record breaking booster thats flown 23 times lol

What expertise do you have in this industry that makes you better suited to determine that it's safe for them to continue without grounding?

He doesn’t need to be a vet to know the difference between a dog and a cat. Retrieving the booster is optional. Boeing, their competitor, can’t even do it.
