some of the parts they are using are old. I have the feeling cracked
seals could once again be the problem. Also, rockets don't rely on
computer controls. These are 20-year old technology. It's unlikely
they have anything more than a bunch of servos like in a model car. 
Actually, from the news report I heard, it was a new launch vehicle.

technology, but supposedly the vehicle was one of a new series...
