I would compare it to Airplanes, and there are not a lot of rust-bucket airplanes, because just like in space, failures can lead to unavoidable death very quick

I would compare it to Airplanes, and there are not a lot of rust-bucket airplanes, because just like in space, failures can lead to unavoidable death very quickly. That’s not comparable to a reliable pickup
- ggreer 2y agoIt really depends on where you are in the world. Poorer countries often have older aircraft that are in worse states of repair. Most aren't exactly rust buckets, but they wouldn't be legally airworthy in places like the US or EU. This does result in worse safety records, but it's still safer than driving the same distance in most places.
- erkt 2y agoLots of private planes from the 70’s still being flown, there’s a little cosmetic rust..
- echoangle 2y agoThose are getting overhauls in regular intervals though, it’s more like theseus airplane. Except for the structure itself, there is a lot of repair and replacement happening. And they also have a less-than-great safety record (although that is also pilot related).
