Softcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. The history of exploration, particularly in space, has always involved risks to the health and lives of explorers. In the realm of space exploration, however, the focus has shifted from achieving goals to minimizing the risk of injury or death for those involved. Since the Apollo era, human spaceflight has been costly and infrequent, with around 500 individuals participating and a death rate of approximately 4%. This risk aversion has led to an irrational and expensive approach to safety, resulting in minimal achievements at high costs. The narrative explores the necessity for a more balanced regulatory approach to passenger safety in commercial spaceflight, advocating for NASA to evaluate mission rewards more rationally and for Congress to reconsider its insistence on prioritizing safety above all else. This insistence reflects a lack of commitment to exploring new frontiers. The author, a seasoned aerospace engineer with extensive experience in the space industry, provides insights into the regulatory and market challenges facing commercial and personal spaceflight. His background includes consulting and writing on space policy and technology, underscoring the need for a shift in how society views safety in the context of space exploration.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The history of exploration and establishment of new lands, science and technologies has always entailed risk to the health and lives of the explorers. Yet, when it comes to exploring and developing the high frontier of space, the harshest frontier ever, the highest value is apparently not the accomplishment of those goals, but of minimizing, if not eliminating, the possibility of injury or death of the humans carrying them out. For decades since the end of Apollo, human spaceflight has been very expensive and relatively rare (about 500 people total, with a death rate of about 4%), largely because of this risk aversion on the part of the federal government and culture. From the Space Shuttle, to the International Space Station, the new commercial crew program to deliver astronauts to it, and the regulatory approach for commercial spaceflight providers, our attitude toward safety has been fundamentally irrational, expensive and even dangerous, while generating minimal accomplishment for maximal cost. This book entertainingly explains why this means that we must regulate passenger safety in the new commercial spaceflight industry with a lighter hand than many might instinctively prefer, that NASA must more carefully evaluate rewards from a planned mission to rationally determine how much should be spent to avoid the loss of participants, and that Congress must stop insisting that safety is the highest priority, for such insistence is an eloquent testament to how unimportant they and the nation consider the opening of this new frontier.
