You say with "no problem" but in 1968, Apollo 1 killed all 3 astronauts on the launch pad and on top of that, Apollo 13 was a near disaster and we only got the astronauts back by the skin of our teeth . All that was done with an unlimited budget from the government, nothing was re-usable and we were taking huge risks in order to beat the Russians.

This time is different. This time its a private company trying to do things with a limited budget, with minimal risk whilst re-using as much as possible

Manned space travel will always be risky and there will be more failures before we succeed
