- FireBeyond 1y agoFrom this: > The effect of this no-abort condition is to make Mars mission design acutely risk-averse. "Acutely risk-averse" is not SpaceX. And being acutely risk-averse also underscores my point. If we are actually acutely risk-averse, we aren't going from "still test-flighting and developing the launch vehicle" to "manned mission" in 9.5 years.
