Too much speed: Apollo 1. Safety was ignored, three astronauts died before ever reaching space.

Another famous country tried to leap forward too fast, ended up with a Great Famine That I Can Write In Capital Letters Given How The Event Was So Devastating.

There's an argument for both speed and safety. There is no rule that says we need to risk things to achieve progress. Natural or otherwise.

I am using some words in a very provocative way here, don't worry about it.
