Yes, I agree. People are often nonchalant about those low probability dangers. But a single death from Cancer is just as bad as the death of an astronaut, perhaps worse as they have not consented to the risk or understand it. We should care about that, especially as space exploration is such an optional undertaking which people don't have to support. That is why there is a range safety system and why anything radioactive needs to be treated with caution.
