In the case of NASA/ESA they have human rated systems and cargo/satellite rated systems.

it would not surprise me if there are 50+ cargo/satellite launches for every human rated launch.

so first use, send it up as a human(yes, I know they aren't there yet) rated and after that down grade it to cargo/satellite.

after a few hundred of these launches you can start to analyze your flight data and success rates and say, "ok now we'll keep this system human rated for 3 launches".
