Reminds me a bit about how Musk originally wanted to fly people to Mars, by 2014, with a launch escape system on the rocket.
By now the launch escape system has been scrapped wholesale, the new approach; Just have to fly enough rockets, without exploding, until safety becomes a side-effect of economies of scale and improved tech.
It's a combination of "tech your way out of the problem" with "grow your way out of the problem". Which might be a viable approach for creating non-integral software products, but seems like a really bad fit when peoples lives are at stake.
