How risky is it to rely on Russian spaceflight?

Yes, it is so dangerous. I can’t understand how, we as a country, in good conscience, could continue to drag astronauts, kicking and screaming, into a deathtrap. a ticking time bomb, a vehicle riding on a controlled explosion, and strap them in, sedated against their will, and not let them out despite their pleas for mercy, instead, laughing maniacally, firing them into space (hopefully they make it there).

Yes, instead, we should just lay coiled in the dark liek scared feti, whimpering at bogeymen.

Have a great, success-filled life with that philosophy.
