I’m not convinced it’s a great idea to man the first trial.
What’s your take?
IIRC, this machine has a pretty good escape mechanism (Launch Abort System). The decision should hinge on the reliability of that.
It might be a good way to test their new escape stuff.. or not. I can’t imagine how many inspections and simulations they have run so far.. I grew up wanting to go astronaut, now I’d go but only if my dog goes with me. ;-)
