“It is a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract”

“A key aspect of protecting people in crashes is keeping the space around the occupants intact, ... Then the safety belts and airbags can prevent significant injuries, even in very serious crashes. This is what happened in the Tundra, but not in the F-150.”

“He absolutely knows that building it at Kennedy Space Center is the best thing to do for astronauts' safety, for the economic success of the program and to save taxpayers' money.”

“A compact format is a matter of safety. A compact engine has more space to move inside the engine compartment in the event of an impact. This helps reduce the risk of engine penetration into the passenger compartment.”
Derek Crabb
“A compact format is a matter of safety. It is particularly important that the engine takes up minimal space longitudinally in the vehicle. Volvo's engines are fitted transversely and a compact engine thus has more space to move inside the engine compartment in the event of an impact that deforms the car's front. This helps reduce the risk of engine penetration into the passenger compartment.”
“What we're talking about here is not just taking rich people to space. We're proving the safety and the viability of space travel. This is the dawn of an new era in space.”
