After the fact, it always looks inevitable.
Would you have gone up on that first manned Saturn launch? Not me. Recall how the space shuttle was safe, until it blew up. And then it was safe again, and broke up on reentry.

It was not that they knew with certainty it would be safe, but because they thought it was realistic that they could accomplish their goal. People die in car accidents every day, that does not make my plan to drive to work tomorrow unrealistic.
