10 tries, zero grams to orbit, 1 partial succes. I wonder when the last launch system failed so many times... Probably back in the 50's?

At least the Falcon lineup has delivered like 2000 tonnes to orbit this year. Which gives them all the time they need to learn and experiment. But I agree, this is a Soviet era failure rate.
