So was Apollo. If I assert that each Apollo mission had a 1 in 4 chance of killing astronauts they didn't do enough flights to prove me wrong.
NASA aims for a 1 in 400 chance. You'd need thousands of flight to prove that level of risk. They have to rely on risk modelling.

Not a billion dollars, not even my own life is worth that much if we're being honest. Progress is pretty good. Something has been lost and is missing today with folks more eager to get home before traffic gets too heavy.
