Surely a suicidal pilot who knowingly kills their colleague(s) and/or passenger(s) is now homicidal? This is an entirely different situation, is it not?

Yes. Precisely because NASA didn’t push forward fifty years ago. Lack of political support, rather than lack of ambition, I’m sure. There is little choice other than to repeat the process as a...
