Can't all space nerds get along?

NO NO NO!

Where would aviation be today if they had decided that the best thing
to do was to "tolerate more explosions at the airport?" Putting
thousands of people into space (which you're going to have to, if you
want to fill a habitat) requires INCREASED safety, not an
explosion killing hundreds (and costing millions) every few days. It
doesn't matter how cheap your rocket is, if nobody wants to fly it.
