Gemini 7 and 6A were manned launches on human-rated launch vehicles, so it isn't quite comparable yet.

Still, modern launch vehicle human ratings were only developed after the second Shuttle disaster, and are far beyond 1965 standards.

Falcon 9 v1.1 is almost certainly safer than the Titan II Gemini Launch Vehicle. As with prior Dragon flights, humans could have flown and been just fine.

It's comparable to any consecutive launches that occurred in the nearly five decades since.

And that is what I find fascinating. Weekly launches into even low earth orbit is a tremendous capability to lob stuff up there. I do look forward to the Dragon2 tests, and the next F9R landing attempt.

Unfortunately they've only got two F9 orbital launches planned for the entire rest of the year.
