Lastly, the comments about "... you die..." are grossly overstated. There are various abort modes, each with pretty damn good chances of survival. Granted, you don't have a launch escape system but unless you get a Crit 1 failure, the abort modes will most likely get you back safe.
Well considering that there has never been an opportunity to use an abort procedure as all loss of crews have been almost instantaneous and without warning i think the "...you die..." comments are pretty valid
