I don’t actually think astronauts take massive risks. They take massively well-understood and meticulously mitigated risks.

Maybe this is a perspective or semantics thing, but I think it’s distinct and important. They’re not Mavericks they’re Icemans.

Hopefully they're well-understood and meticulously mitigated risks. Because if they're not... well there's always modern day Boeing.
