Finding am error before lift off is not a bad thing.
Yea, you're right. NASA has never done anything like that, at all.
I do agree that it makes SpaceX look better, especially in terms of Falcon 9. But their fate is so closely tied to Starship now that if it runs into serious problems and/or has to go back to the drawing board, the company's very viability could be threatened and it would be yet another big blow to the national image. Our hopes are riding on a lot of untested stuff right now, and the hype magnifies every failure along the way.
That's a prejudiced view.
As somebody from one of those countries, I'm curious to know why you felt that way.
Rest assured that average citizens in India don't give a damn about whether or not America launches a rocket.
Nobody here has any doubt that the US is fully capable of handling this mission.
It's a good thing that they caught the flaw early and aborted the mission before anything catastrophic happened. They can now look into things, make corrections, and try again.
(And besides, thoughts about "what will others think" should be the least concern of anybody actually involved with this project. It's an indication of small minds.)
