Historically rockets not infrequently blow up. NASA can find specially trained astronauts to risk a 1% chance of death to push forward human progress but how many people will put up with a 1% or even 0.1% chance to save a few hours flying?

    Great point. But isn't SpaceX precisely driving that % lower and lower by accumulating rocket launch - and landing - experience by the dozens or eventually hundreds?
