I’m not at all puzzled that a bunch of people commenting in a hacker forum don’t understand very much about engineering like this. Astronautical and aeronautical engineering are difficult. The fact that we’ve been in space 50-odd years doesn’t mean we’ve perfected anything to the point where we should expect a flawless mission on the first go even for something like this.

The suggested failure/problem was in the software side.

Maybe not even in software, but procedures. Still, this is common. A big share of space failures are, on some level, failures of software and procedures.
