I'm not sure what you mean by the last sentence. The rational
choice given our horrifically bad record at bringing people in and
out of orbit is not to cower in fear, but rather to double or
quadruple the size of the un-manned programs. Given sufficient
funding, we could learn to do amazing things in space pretty
quickly. Once we choose a meat in space program, we deliberately
forego knowledge we could have had more quickly otherwise.
