I sure hope the 16th century is not the standard of safety for the 21st. Who cares what risks Magellan took? Should the standards of medical practice and sanitation from the 16th century also be applied now? There's a deep moral responsibility to respect life, and a calculation about benefit from the risk. Getting other people killed for your benefit is wrong. As a society, we need to do everything possible to protect them. The benefits are exciting, but not worth saving money on cheaper fuel.
