My question is directed to the astronauts who previously flew on the Space Shuttle (Boe, Behnken, Ferguson, Hurley, Williams). The Space Shuttle, despite being as made as safe as possible by NASA by the time of its retirement, was still an incredibly risky and dangerous spacecraft. How do you feel the risk by flying on an Atlas V and Falcon 9 compares?

Just like in the days of Deke Slayton assigning the Apollo astronauts. I love that that tradition stayed.
