Yeah, but how many of NASA's spacecraft blow up, or crash, or plain are
never heard from again? A quarter? A third? Imagine if 30-some percent of
the cars out there spontaneously exploded, or veered into the opposing lane,
or simply vanished one night. People would avoid NASA brand cars at all
costs, and they'd be hit with so many product liability and wrongful death
lawsuits their heads would spin.
