I’ve gotta be out of your mind to get on a Space X rocket with all the issues they’ve had. JMO.

Remember the 'jokes' about riding a potential bomb built on the lowest bid? Remember the Columbia and Challenger disasters? Any new tech is failure prone but if no new efforts are made, no progress is realized! As for SpaceX, look at how well rival Boeing's initial orbit test went (badly)!

What issues are you talking about? They had a problem during escape system testing which they corrected followed by a successful full up launch test. They lost one engine during the 5th launch of a booster but the launch still completed the mission. Boeing flubbed a launch of Starliner and damned near lost the spacecraft. Spacex hasn’t screwed up a launch in almost 5 years.
