#SpaceStations will be occupied by civilians as #tourists and employees. A “learning period” gives the industry considerable leeway to #experiment with humans 👨🚀.

Updates to the NASA human system risk management process for space exploration
This paper describes updates to NASA’s approach for assessing and mitigating spaceflight-induced risks to human health and performance. This approach continues to evolve to meet dynamically changing risk environments: lunar missions are currently ...
The fatality rate of people traveling in space is about 3%. That sounds low, but it's higher than extreme sports. Since 📆 1930, improvements in technology 🔧 and safety features have lowered the number of fatal 💀 accidents in the #aviation industry per million miles flown by a factor of 3,000 〽️ https://phys.org/news/2024-09-space-spacex-polaris-dawn-mission.html
Space travel comes with risk—SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission will push the envelope further than ever
Space is an unnatural environment for humans. We can't survive unprotected in a pure vacuum for more than two minutes. Getting to space involves being strapped to a barely contained chemical explosion.
Bernd@spaceflight the current target rate for fatal accidents for human space flights is 1 in 270, which is an order of magnitude lower than 3%, but sitll ridiculously high compared to other means of transport. Starliner wouldn't even meet that modest goal.
