Yeah, just meant safety-wise. With corporate built launch systems from companies with a track record of overworking employees and higher than IMHO acceptable rates of injury and death of employees in places like SpaceX, it seems like a hard time to be an astronaut and put trust in the dangerous equipment you’re working with. Of course, when it was new, there were similar trust issues, but that was more exciting to be on the cutting edge. Now it’s just corporate greed making it more dangerous, not just being the first to do it.
