Space Redi

Spaceflight is risky. In the new space economy, companies are taking on the risk of selecting, training and monitoring their crew systems as NASA once did. Predicting and modeling those risks in spaceflight is a difficult and arduous task. With only around 700 people ever going to space, there is simply not enough data for traditional statistical methods to work. There are millions of variables to manage with complex relationships that allow even small risks to cascade in catastrophe. Current risk analyses are inadequate, performed manually, in spreadsheets, and occasionally by hand. Even at the highest levels of spaceflight operations, real-time risk trades are often done with heuristic knowledge and without quantitative support. This slows down the time to critical decisions and leaves room for human error. We've found similar issues in risk systems for warfighter readiness, mining operations, and other extreme environment occupations.
