To add to what everyone else here is saying, rockets by nature work with EXTREMELY volatile fuel, ridiculously high speeds, and friction. All VERY destructive things. So when failures do happen, they happen explosively. When you don’t change the oil in your car and it fails you kind of just pull off the highway. Rockets traveling 17,000 mph that are full of liquid hydrogen don’t just pull off to the side of the road.
