The escape towers on those early rockets were a function of getting the crew away from a low altitude fireball of an exploding rocket. It was even envisioned as being used while sitting on the pad. Nasa knew a suited and air supplied astronaut could reasonably parachute out.
They even had an extendable boom on the shuttle hatch for astronauts to be clip on, slide out the crew hatch, ride to the of the boom to safely clear the wing, then fall off the end.

Other than entering the age of entitlements,there a loads of Ole’Folk these days 65,6,7,,8 and higher that arnt the same “senior” as my grand folks were and I think it depends on the individual
To: eyedigress
the pressure to succeed?Is there any pressure at that altitude, I think its more of a vacuum which is why the ballon is fatter as he ascends
