It says "To view the flash version of this website you must have Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 installed." And thats all there is on the screen.

I translate that to "We dont know what Javascript is, probably something that has to do with HTML which probably is some weird programming language or something."

I dont think I will let these guys take my ass to the moon :-)

If they can achieve 100 suborbital flights without an accident, would you go then?

No, because having done something 100 times without failure is not a proof of a low failure-rate.

Say your failure rate is 1%. Then the chance that you get away without failure in 100 tries is 37%. (0.99^100).
