Sounds bad, yes? But let's look at the facts:

1) 50% catastrophic loss rate in the program

3) Death by incineration

4) Job description: leave atmosphere via being strapped onto a couple million pounds of highly combustible elements

5) Everyone in charge works for the government

Make mine a double, please.
