It's space. If you want safe you stay at home. There will always be a risk when you ride a rocket into orbit.

- stavros 2y agoYes, there are no degrees of safety, might as well strap yourself to a cannon bomb and ride it!
- generalizations 2y ago> engineers who could not live with the possiblity of making a mistake The whole point, as I read it, is that those engineers could not handle "degrees of safety".
- 93po 2y agoshould we apply this to boeing's planes too?
- Loughla 2y agoNo because we're not talking about that.
- michaelt 2y agoYes, there will always be a risk when you ride a 737 into orbit too.
- 93po 2y agothis was pretty good
- Dalewyn 2y agoShould be applied to aircraft in general, yes. It is mind boggling just how many things need to work perfectly constantly consistently to maintain safe flight. This goes for both Boeing and Airbus (and Embraer, Cessna, et al.); all of General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls Royce; etc.
- Twirrim 2y agoYes, just like you also do with Airbus too, and any other plane manufacturers. You already factor in risk every time you set foot in a car, too, and a car is a far more dangerous vehicle. Danger from crashing is an inherent danger in travelling faster than on foot, and when you're on foot you're also facing the risk of being hit by those moving in those fast vehicles.
