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

The article above is poorly researched because of this.


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.

I agree.
