Thing of it is when launching the danger is explosions like we have seen before. Chance of individuals "bailing out" is slim to none. When coming back in it's burning up in re-entry. Again the ability to get out means that you have to have time to make that decision and jump at an altitude where you don't burn up. In both cases there was nothing to be done. An escape pod type system may be workable in the future but people just jumping? Heck we should work on systems to allow passengers to bail out of commercial aircraft.....actually most often crashes happen landing and taking off, way to low to bail out and no time to do it in unless an ejections seat system is used that could be pulled from the cockpit.

I got way more respect for our young men and women who are joining the military than with this guy.
