I know its literally rocket science and a lot of very complex systems need to work together, but shouldnt we be able to iterate on a working formular?

Something other replies fail to mention:
Most rockets explode on purpose. All rockets have a Flight Termination System (FTS). When the computer system detects that something is going extremely wrong with the flight – the FTS is triggered and the rocket goes boom. This is done to avoid the rocket flying off and exploding in a populated area or big debris falling down on one. The flight trajectories are planned so that the rocket can be blown up safely and debris will fall in the ocean.
