"100 times safer"

Well, so far his system has killed 3 people with only 2 flights. That's a 150% chance of someone dying for each flight, vs the Shuttle's 1.4%, so right now he's 100 times WORSE.

he only needs 20,000 casualty-free flights to acheive his target...

Safety isn't about words, it's about action and results. Is there some other "simple safety solution" that will become obvious after the fact?
