Wouldn&#x27;t the absurdly short time period for design test iteration and the extreme political pressure weighing on success be the most ripe conditions for making sacrifices of this type though? We&#x27;re talking about a generation that lived through WWII, Hitler and Stalin, where wartime values around dying for one&#x27;s country were still viewed as a necessary and noble sacrifice. Seems like if there was ever a moment in history in which people would be willingly flung into space, <i>knowing</i> there was a high likelihood they would die, that would be it.
