Depending on one's age, maybe not honestly? (Not the OP)


If they’re that age, they’re not qualified to be in the crew anyway.


John Glenn was 77 when he flew on the Space Shuttle...


In your opinion: at what age does someone become unworthy of life?


That’s definitely not my point, what I meant was it’s not unreasonable for someone who’s older - maybe children have grown, at our nearing retirement, etc. - why not take a risk to fly to space?
