On the other hand, 10-20 people in a bus out of control on a mountainside can get in the news, even if it ends in tragedy. But we don't color our whole view of auto travel because of it. We don't make policy or even many business decisions because of it.

Space travel can be dangerous. We will likely lose some crews. Rescue will always be too far away to matter. But I think folks will do it anyway.

Of course they will.

  Say to me, "There's too much danger."
  Say we could be lost,
  And I reply, "I'm no stranger
  To danger. That's the cost."

(Incidentally, this lovely song is a good answer to a lot of comments on this story.)
