No, I don't have a desire to go into space for any reason.

SpaceX has yet to have a fatality. Do Boeing and NASA next.

I would fly on the ones that go to the ISS

Were those manned rockets?

These are all test rockets for a new generation of rocket technology. Nobody, not even a mouse or a chimp, are flying on them. It's a dumb question.

I'll give you Boeing, but Nasa has a 65 year head start. So let's see how SpaceX does over a run like that.
Also, SpaceX and every other space flight orgnizaton has the fortune of being able to learn from Nasa's hard earned lessons...

Is it? I mean, manned or not, they are building a track record and I'm not sure it's good.

I’m the opposite. Unless something goes terribly wrong, I will go to space before I die.

Flying in rockets is inherently dangerous.
I’m sure people just like you thought after everyone aboard Apollo 1 burned up inside the capsule during training, “would anyone here fly on a NASA rocket?”

Which part of TEST do you not understand?

Given how much this board loves politics, and his current relationship with DJT (who I voted for), I knew this comment was comming. But it has nothing to do with that.
Personally, I think Musk is brilliant. But it also puzzles me that he has so much money that SpaceX's mode of operation is to simply build things to fail. Over and over again. (Has Starship truly ever had a 100% successful flight?) I've said as much on this board before. The more rockets that DON'T have successful missions, the more I'm puzzled by it. How hard would it be NOT to rush these to flight, working on the engineering and do ground based flight sims?
Not saying any aproach is right or wrong, it's just interesting to me why they picked the one they have.

Right, and as I said, they got to learn from Nasa's failures.
Furthermore, in the 1960's nasa didn't have CAD and computer simulatons to test things before launch... .

That’s not a serious question.
