The accidents didn’t help either, right? I like the idea of Boom, but would much prefer the engineering from either Airbus or Boeing.

I think all this talk “MVP” and startups so often in the same sentence over nearly a decade now makes me worried that Boom won’t have enough resources to achieve anything less than an exceptional job with regards to safety.

And my life isn’t worth risking to save a few hours of travel time by putting it in the hands of a startup.

The FAA doesn't hand out flight certifications like candy. I wouldn't be worried too much.

Concorde's only fatal accident was a result of running over debris that punctured the fuel tank and burst a tire, so it wasn't necessarily any issue with the plane itself. Conveniently enough, this also happened near the EOL of the plane, right before a recession and 9/11.
