Seriously, if you are going to say that there is no reason not to do a

The expected risk cost is ~0.1 lives and 0.015 shuttles (assuming a
1/70 chance of disaster with each shuttle mission not to ISS).


Recalculate for 1/50 That is the current safety rating.

At *worst*, it's 1/56.5 (+ post-CAIB safety improvements).

*Reasonably*, it's 1/88, (+ post-CAIB safety improvements).

Again, *cite* your sources, if you have any.
