"There is nothing wrong with making a project as safe as possible"
This is crazy, it will leave us with space projects that will never be finished.
Didn't mars one prove that people are willing to die on Mars to get there first? The cost of getting people to mars is trivial compared to the cost of getting them back.
We spend so much time on safety we have become totally immobile in space. The whole NASA budget should be given to the private sector!
- codingdave 11y agoOK, fine, what if we changed it to "as safe as practical"? The point is that those who are willing to die should not set the safety standards. We should surpass their personal risk tolerances, and make it safer than that.
