reliability and survivability
In article ,
says...
To me, man-rating boils down to one thing: increasing LV reliability to an
acceptable number of nines.
That feels like too narrow a definition. The reliability of Atlas during
the Mercury era was horrible. A lot of work was done to improve Atlas
reliability for Mercury/Atlas, but part of man-rating the entire system
was the escape tower.
Man-rating is (well, imho, should be) deciding how many nines one can
afford on crew survival, not launcher reliability.
