Priorities in government and space

consider this. the shuttle has had 104 (if my count is correct)
launches, with two failures with 13 lives lost (im sorry but i dont
have the number of crewmen in those flights).

apollo had 17 missions with two failures, with a lost of 3 lives out
of 34 crewmen.

Its a little difficult to discuss russian successes as many of theirs
are still hidden, and many losses could have been hidden from the
world.
