Apples - oranges.
The ratio of of risk vs return when flying to space is quite different(although everybody fixed on the top of a rocket will piss in his diaper and there's no way to avoid it
)
If fact I know an astronaut still waiting for an ISS assignment. This guy is boring as hell. Another guy working ESA, training astronauts, on the other hand is one of the most interesting and funniest persons I've ever met.

Makes me wonder how anyone can be happy facing death.
There's a reason I dont ride motorcycles - the problem is not hitting a tree at 150mph, although likely - but ending up in wheelchair, or even worse as a tetraplegic.
Hm -maybe I'll get one anyway, at least before I turn 40, lol.
