Easy for him to say. He doesn't have to explain dead astronauts to
weeping spouses & children, angry congressmen, or a public that's
starting to reconsider this whole "space tourism" hullabaloo (after
all, space travel is *obviously* too dangerous for regular people;
even astronauts can't survive it).

Xenophile (build it and they will come... unless they think that they
will die)
