Scenarios about 'spaceflight safety'
The protocols, technologies, and procedures designed to protect human life and equipment during missions beyond Earth's atmosphere. Spaceflight safety encompasses everything from launch vehicle reliability to radiation protection, life support systems, and emergency protocols developed through decades of aerospace engineering experience. Understanding these safety considerations is crucial when exploring alternate timelines where different approaches to space exploration might have led to varying safety records and technological developments.
