I'm skeptical too - especially given the lack of testing so far. I expect it to happen, but further down the track!

They certification for human flight took a hit when the last one blow up.
Sending them to the moon is the easy bit bring them back to earth is the hard bit (the earth isn't too large to miss).

Hitting the earth isn't too bad, it's hitting the atmosphere at the right angle and speed that's the fun part! |

The first manned flight of the Saturn V was Apollo 8, which was the first manned flight to the moon, so the lack of all-up testing isn't entirely without precedent. I imagine SpaceX will have their own boxes to tick before they decide they are ready though.

But the CM had flown before in LEO. And the Saturn V had also been flown.
