This degree of lifespan-maximization is something you might have but others don’t necessarily share. E.g. old people went to Fukushima to sort it out. “Was it really better to risk death than to risk getting fired?”

Neither of these are major risks compared to never being what you want to be.

Replace it with whatever you consider “worth dying for”.

		In that case it seems all right. Certainly if I died in Apollo 1 and I cared about spaceflight and making it to the Moon before the Russians I wouldn’t see it as unworthy. The Shuttle deaths no problem.
