His point to my mind was that life is viewed too sacrosanct given that there are individuals willing to go.


The prior poster was explicitly talking about reducing crime by exporting criminals. That’s not a cheap way to execute “undesirable” people, and if they aren’t killed on the way up, we end up with people who are not a great fit for the demands of living in space, however willing prisoners may be to go.

I hope we can find a more humane way to deal with our troubled fellow humans than to send them on suicide missions.
