outer space contains the best quality milk
I get it and I'm all for this mission.
But if I was a single dad I would never risk my life by going to the moon on a test flight.
I get your point
You know my first thought was that if I was a widower with two kids I definitely wouldn't work in a job that dangerous but what are the chances that being an astronaut is actually safer than driving an hour long commute?
what are the chances that being an astronaut is actually safer than driving an hour long commute?
A trip to space is actually about 100,000 times more likely to lead to a fatality than a 20 mile car trip.
People really underestimate how dangerous space travel is.
(The math is in another comment below if you're curious.)
I feel like the sample size is too low though. I wouldn't argue that it's more safe... But a lot of the deaths in space travel were in the early days when we were still figuring shit out and had less sophisticated technology for things like automatic abort systems etc.
For a more recent data point, how about NASA's safety requirements for SpaceX manned flights, circa 2020?
Josh Finch, a NASA spokesperson, told Spaceflight Now that the agency’s calculated “Loss Of Crew” probability for SpaceX’s Demo-2 test flight is 1-in-276, exceeding the commercial crew program’s requirement threshold of 1-in-270.
Would you get in a car if you had a 1 in 270 chance of dying during each trip? Those aren't great odds for surviving a year's worth of daily commutes.

I don't know. If my parent was an Astronaut and they decided to stop being an Astronaut for me. I would hate that, feels like a burden.
You could die working in McDonald's, at least this way he can support two kids on a single income.
I also choose this guy's moon crater.
Holy shit the comments ITT
sorry i am too uneducated:
can someone explain what the meme is here?
