That first link is about a document from 2006, while C++ became a lot safer with C++11 in 2011. It’s much easier to write safe C++ now, if you follow current guidelines:
I would say the standard has changed. The current guidelines require you to use features that didn’t exist before C++11. C++11 was a huge change and it made C++ a lot nicer. The updates since then have generally been improvements but more incremental than revolutionary.
Print from html to PDF in a browser was 708 pages, so maybe half that if printed like a book (less whitespace etc.). About like a Rust textbook. Still a lot I guess.

and their 40 page coding standard document. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20080039927/downloads/20080039927.pdf https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20080039927
and their software safety handbook. https://standards.nasa.gov/standard/nasa/nasa-gb-871913
all 389 pages of it https://standards.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/standards/NASA/Baseline/0/nasa-gb-871913.pdf

Yeah the standards for safe C++ haven’t changed, no matter how much the language changes.

Dude core guidelines is like 2000 pages, C++ is a meme language

Well I’m old so I need a larger font size
Seems very reasonable, apart from an arbitrary number of assertions required per function
