Honestly, a media obsession with "safety" has been the biggest drawback to manned space travel since the late 80's.

It's no surprise that all the real progress in space travel was driven by a post-war generation who had a very different level of risk-tolerence and very different approach to risk-reward calculation. And had journalists with the same approach.

Very little to do with human safety, everything to do with the cost of the vehicles.
