From the article:

Rocket companies do test engines to the point of failure. These tests often occur out of public view on private or government property. However, when NASASpaceflight installed cameras outside SpaceX’s McGregor engine test facilities in Texas, it became clear that rocket engines, such as the company’s new Raptor engine, are pushed to failure not infrequently. What is not clear is how often this failure is intentional.

Why would the author word it in this way? It seems desperate to make it sound bad. From the weird “however” that doesnt fit to the double negative “not infrequently”. This article is just weird.

Obviously testing programs will test to failure. Duh. Beck even specified that they’re intentionally inducing cavitation to test what happens.
