  • OT: space travel is dangerous

    From Woozy Song@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 19 19:36:17 2024
    NASA considers an acceptable risk is 1 catastrophe in 270 (that is
    two-way trips). That is exactly 1/4 of the space shuttle's record: 2 in 135.

    Multiply that by 7. 14 dead in 135 missions. That's more than 1/10.

    That's not the "acceptbale risk". That's simply the "accident rate".

    A space rocket is basically just a huge tank of combustible fuel that
    is ignited at one end, so it's extremely lucky there has been a lot
    more fatal accidents.

    NASA's stupidity was in retiring the Space Shuttle programme without
    having any real replacement. The proof is in the current problem of two astronauts that were meant to be on the space station for 8 days and
    are now probably going to be stuck there for 8 months!
