    ah c’mon man even the americans are using soyuz rockets at this point, very much a tried system, it’ll be fine. You fire it off either bumfuck nowhere in the pacific or alternatively cape canaveral, FL and if it goes wrong, hey, no harm done.

      I’m not critiquing the reliability of particular rockets or particular countries. You’re putting a lot of faith in the idea that the direction you meant for it to go is the direction it actually goes.

      As far as I’m concerned, these are projects for people generations from now to consider, when we’ve developed more appropriate technologies, whatever those might be.
