Everybody who saw the race to the moon knew that it was very dangerous. Safety is a concern but there are limits. We can't expect either NASA or the private sector to have a perfect safety record. It's exciting when the launch is successful and they return to earth in one piece. When they aren't successful I don't know what it is--they know the risk.
It is called the Human spirit.. I think it is in our nature to take risks...
I have no respect for anyone that is not willing to risk everything, to achieve their goal. Sometimes the goal is extremely dangerous!
Thank God, we have had people like them in our history.
