Will space travel be safe in the future? Sci Fi films worry me........?

.... as every depiction of space crafts and ships have hundreds of lamps flashing on and off, I work in a computerised factory, flashing lights are ALARMS!!!!

i find every depiction of spacecrafts involve them crashing, blowing up or otherwise malfunctioning...

which is probably accurate insight into the future, lmao...

The space industry is young. It will mature given enough time to be like any other transportation industry. It took a long time to get boats right, they used to capsize all the time just a few hundred years ago. Cars always used to break down. The first space rockets all exploded, the first Apollo crew all died.

Space travel will be nice and safe in the future. But it's not likely to be viable for the masses in our lifetime.

Most Sci-Fi films are made by people who do not really understand science.
Very few of them are coherent and realistic.
As for space travel, it may never be 100% safe. I mean, this is putting people in an environment where everything is incompatible with life -- no air, no water, too much radiation, etc. It will get safer as technology progress, but never perfectly safe.
That said, staying in one's bed is also risky: a meteor can fall down on you just the same...

I think that space travel will be VERY safe. Those are JUST movies. Due to new advancements in technology, scientists by then will be on a role.

One has not to space travel (cosmic travel) to be unsafe. If you would consult some statistics it would be obvious for you that traveling with car is the less safe...

No. Space is the most inhospitable environment there is. Radiation, temperature extremes, no air, etc. On top of that, I feel that interstellar space travel is next to impossible, given the ultimate speed limit. No warp 7 for us Scotty.

Space flight will never be safe. Things move at such high speeds in space (due to the lack of friction in space), that you can be looking at empty space and 3 seconds later you would be hit my an asteroid the size of a penny. Such things move at several miles per second and could potentially destroy a ship. This is just one thing that could happen in space.

Realistically, though, these catastrophic things are very unlikely to happen. Space is so huge that getting hit by such an object would probably not happen, but there are definitely risks and NASA tries to prepare for such things to happen.

Real space travel is very safe! Imagine watching a sci-fi movie where a group of astronauts flies to Mars they get there safely and orbit the planet. The land collect their samples, marvel at the planet and the way the Sun and earth look from an alien world. They get back in their spacecraft and safely return to earth. That's kinda boring!

For one thing, flashing lights are not just alarms. They can be navigation beacons, ship maker lights, functional indicators and other normally working lights. Secondly, not all alarms are equal. An alarm that indicates the rat cage needs cleaning or the printer has run out of paper is different from one indicating a loss of cabin pressure or a thermal runaway in a fuel cell.

Space is a dangerous place to travel, and so far only government employees have spent any serious time there (aside from the occasional millionaire who buys his way onto a flight). Space flight will not be available to the public until a reasonable degree of safey control can be designed into the ships and procedures.

But movies require drama. The last perfectly safe space flight in a film was arguably Heywood Floyd's trip to the Moon in "2001: A Space Oddyssey", and you've probably heard that a lot of people hated that. So the films will continue to have beam-shooting aliens, air-dumping and engine-frying saboteurs, and collisions and crashes just to keep the popcorn selling.
