But it will fly. When it does, I think that it has a very good
chance
of proving to be the safest human launch system ever fielded.

I think Orion's chances of flying over fifty flights in its entire
operational lifetime are low, but assuming it does, its chances of getting
through its first 58 flights without a fatal accident (which is what it
will need just to match the shuttle's safety record, currently the best of
any manned spacecraft) are even lower.

What makes you think that?
