nah..I hate to cosign science, but I'm just trying to take the emotion out of it...
Ppl probably gotta die, for certain advancements to move forward. Its just like the whole Mars colony shyt. Those initial dummies heading up, are probably gonna die...
Elon Musk said as much, and I think many of these ppl going, have already came to terms with not coming back. Its a necessary evil I guess, for future settlers, to eventually thrive out there. If ppl didn't put their lives on the line, we probably wouldn't have airplanes, vaccines, etc.
Unlike the Mars situation, these ppl probably didn't know they were deemed expendable, and being misled is an issue tho.
This was just common corporate/institutional greed due to worries about how it may impact the company or institution down the line that happens all the time. Like someone mentioned, the boeing 737 Max is another good example. Because they didn't listen to the science individuals (engineers) and instead were thinking from a CEO/management perspective whatever metrics or money they were chasing (in this case funding from the government). When these people think like this, thinking about the safety of human lives is secondary. I hear what you're saying and like you said something that has never been done before like going to mars or something like that does come with its own set of risks. But, we've had tons of shuttle launches and space launches before this and this is just one case where career security and politics was given more importance than human lives which happens a lot.
