3 of the passengers were lifelong explorers - the ex french navy guy, the ceo, and the billionaire that had already gone to space. I believe those three probably fully consented to the risks, and I don't have any particular sympathy for them.

But the other guy didn't have an adventurous background, and I wonder if he really understood what he was getting into. Still, he was an adult responsible for himself.

The teengager however... no way he was fully aware of the risks. Teens still think they're invincible, especially rich ones. Him I feel sorry for.
