I think the key phrase is 'more like' rather than 'the same as'. I don't imagine space travel is ever going to be the same as airline travel, it's always going to involve energies and therefore risks far in excess of commercial airliners.

Take engine failure. An airliner with completely failed engines and no motive power at least has a chance of gliding to a landing, without any additional safety or backup system. Rockets, not so much. Jet aircraft can recover safely from a whole range of technical issues, but while rockets have a certain latitude for recovery (SpaceX had a first stage engine failure during launch a while back but the flight continued) their resiliency is much more limited. I don't see that changing, and I doubt SpaceX does either.
