Let me put this another way, according to Wikipedia, the entire history of human space travel is 367 flights. From 2011-2020, there were just 47.
On average, there are almost 10,000 planes in the air carrying over 1.25 million people at any given moment.
A single Boeing 787 is designed to be able to fly 44,000 times in its life.
Even if there were no deaths in the 367 flights, which obviously isn't true, you are still many orders of magnitude away from having enough data to show the safety is the same as air travel.

You could fit every person who's ever been to space on a single Airbus A380 very easily. You simply can not make a comparison with such a tiny sample size.

That's just blatantly not true

What point are you trying to make? I'm struggling to understand the relevance of any of that info to the comment or post

They could send some up if necessary, though. There's a CRS mission and two crew dragon missions (Crew-6 and Polaris Dawn) coming up in the next 2-3 months, so if they thought the risk was high enough to warrant it there is definitely solutions available.

What? The first comment I replied to, I was replying to this
>The risk is nearing commercial airlines
Wtf does that mean if not that you think the risk of space travel and air travel are similar?
