Million-to-One Chance: According to the novelization of A New Hope, when he outlines the plan for the first and second runs in the briefing room, one of the pilots asks 'What if both runs fail? What happens after that?' Dodonna's reply: 'There won't be any after that', meaning that there won't be a third chance, because if both runs failed, the Death Star would blast the Yavin moon and the Rebel base out of existence and they would suffer the same fate as Alderaan.

Sadly, the Republic engines were crippled and Dodonna and his crew perished, although they saved the rest of the Rebel fleet.
