Sure thing – take the first SpaceX Falcon 9 flight, the one that blew up on launchpad and sent a rocket’s nosecone flying into a crater. Everyone was shaking their heads, but they discovered the real culprit was a tiny metal bolt that jammed a pressure sensor, so now every rocket has an extra “no‑bolt‑in‑the‑wrong‑place” check. Or think about that indie game that crashed into a “server overload” mess on day one; the devs learned to split the server load and now every launch comes with a built‑in failover. In both cases the launch went *splat*, but the lessons stuck around like a stubborn sticker.
