I’d really like to see the details of the “proceeding slowly with painstaking care” looks like.

Airplanes never had airbags, crumple zones, etc. The odds of surviving a car crash are much higher than odds of surviving a plane crash. It seems therefore that testing in cars can be done with lower risk of loss of life. Yes, there will be fender benders and some deaths.

NASA is horrible at keeping astronauts alive. Worse than the Soviets/Russians, as far as I know.

Apollo 1 and the two Shuttle disasters do not paint a good picture for NASA's safety in practice.

NASA is great at keeping astronauts alive. It has no launch vehicles.
