WhatA public-facing platform that aggregates, visualizes, and contextualizes Loss of Crew (LOC) probabilities and known technical risks for crewed space missions using official and independent engineering assessments.
SignalCommenters express genuine concern about heat shield issues and mission safety, actively seek out LOC probability numbers, and share independent safety critiques — there is real demand for transparent, accessible risk information that neither NASA nor media provides in a digestible format.
Why NowThe commercial space era means more crewed missions from more providers with varying safety records, while public trust in institutional communication is declining and independent technical journalism (like the Artemis safety critique linked) is gaining influence.
