That's true of space exploration... but also true of aviation. Of flight test. Of exploring terrestrial extremes. Of volunteering for medical studies...there's always a possibility that one won't make it home. But the same thing could happen driving to Costco, or crossing a residental street to a park... better to pursue what can be and should be done. The end is the same, the accomplishments vary.
