arent boeing and spacex preparing capsules for the moon? would you be OK with applying 1969 safety tests standards on them?

  The Apollo missions saw no loss of life in outside of training. Given the number of flights I would guess that it's single digit levels of risk. It's interestingly losses in space went up as time went on.

    Of the 12 manned Apollo missions [1], 3 out of 36 astronauts died, for an 8% fatality rate. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apollo_missions#Manned_Apollo_missions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apollo_missions#Manned...

      “outside of training” includes Apollo 1

    Like the shuttle program the numbers for Apollo could have rapidly gone far worse - and nearly did with 13.
