>>12793761Activation during different phases of the flight including but not limited to:
>orbital maneuvers>earth departure/orbital injection burns>earth/mars/moon/titan descent>mars/moon/titan ascent>any prolonged stay in orbit or the surface of a celestial object earth includedSimply remember this: ejection seat/escape pod/whatever works on earth ascent only because that's the only place you can escape to. It's cool in the movies, but in reality it is not that practical for a vehicle that is not just meant to lug you into orbit.
>>12793797That's not a matter of engineering - if political desire exists to ban it, then even if it is the safest system in the world and proven so with flight data and sheer numbers it won't matter as politics is never about truth, at least the immediately obvious one.
STS, for all its criticism, at least ramped up quite a bit of flights to test it out and see how it went. Imagine how safe it would have been with single digit flights! LOC estimates could be like those for SLS-Orion : 1/500 or so.
Is Orion twice as safe as Crew Dragon? Who knows.
The only defense for that polit bullshit is sufficiently powerful lobby faction to oppose the opponent's one.
Boing clearly can make fatal pajeet tier software for civilian airliners and get away with it - if spacex can pull off that kind of influence they can get away with anything even if they litter mars with corpses.
