Would people want to drive cars built by people with this mindset, on roads designed by people with this mindset, to get to airports to fly in aircraft built and regulated by people with this mindset?
Trick question! Almost everyone does and doesn't see anything wrong with it.
I would not want to get into an expensive risky rocket, since I don't see the benefit that would be commensurate with the enormous cost. If the cost were radically reduced, I might try it, and in that very much cheaper rocket the safety level would be much higher (or else the actual cost, including risk x value of my life, would swamp the ticket price.)
