9991 5 days ago You know what they say: the most dangerous part of space flight is the car ride to Cape Canaveral.
Per mile, sure.
Per launch? I think the "everyone died" rate is about, what, 1.2% of crewed launches?
Not a good sales pitch for commercial space flights

We need a decade of accident free autonomous launches before humans will line up in mass to visit space like a Carnival Cruise.
