If Musk would ride one to the space station, it would go a long way to demonstrate how safe it is. But putting someone else in the capsule, isn’t much risk for him.
Should all presidents, rocket engineers and heads of NASA have gone up?
Well, I don’t remember Werner Von Braun going to the moon, either.
Cheap shot. Musk isn’t a pilot and is smart enough to leave certain skill required tasks to those that have the skills. One of the reasons that he has brought us to this place. He understands the gravity of what he is asking.
I am not a big Musk fan but credit is due in this case.
Hi.
In the fwiw department, I wouldn’t strap a hundred tons of explosives to my a$$ for any reason.
And I’ve been in some serious situations.
Would you go?

That’s not what it is about, the measure of Musk’s personal risk. Besides one doesn’t just hop into a capsule and launch without years of training and conditioning. Snowflake-ism is everywhere these days. Pioneers die - that’s the way it is. Nothing worth doing is risk free.
I am about halfway through the Musk bio that came out in 2015. He’s quite a guy. Very driven and smart, not the nicest. He put in many many millions of his own money into Space X and Tesla and he deserves the accolades.
“If Musk would ride one to the space station, it would go a long way to demonstrate how safe it is. But putting someone else in the capsule, isn’t much risk for him.”
Yeah, if he rode one into space that would go a long way. But, while he’s not the brightest guy around, he’s not that dumb.
