Looks like you're the only one talking about danger.  I was talking
about expense, economics, convenience, etc.  We don't need no steenkeen
asternauts, I'll go.  Problem is, they won't have me.  Too old.  Not
reckless enough anymore, I go with safety first (but I don't require
100% or even 99%, just let's not do anything deliberately stupid).
