“SpaceX's colossal Starship reached orbital speed for the first”
It blew up.
“demonstrated a first step toward being able to refuel in space”
It blew up.
So, when it achieves a first when it KILLS people are we going to shrug lives away?
In the case of Elon Tesla Musk, yeah, yeah, that’s what it looks like.

NASA's record isn't great re: deaths of astronauts.
Pretty much any activity where adults in the prime of life wear diapers is tremendously dangerous:
Race car driver, fighter pilot, astronaut. . . .
TBF 19 since the 60’s is far better than Tesla (a total of 95). But let’s be fair and give Tesla a 1/4. That is still 23 since 2003. That’s about one a year. NASA is about 0.28 a year.
So if I’m going to the moon, I would feel much safer in NASA’s hands than Musk’s.
But that’s just me.
