No, what you are talking about is 1/10th as dangerous, which is a much different thing. if 56/57 flights are safe, 10x safer means 560/57 fluights are safe -- good luck with that. 1/10th as dangerous means 1/570 flights are unsafe.
As a matter of fact I am a rocket scientist.

What exactly does that mean? Let's say this new spacecraft is 100% safe. does that mean the old one was only 10% safe?
