I wasn't especially feeling mournful for the billionaire guy who ignored ALL the engineers. I do lament that his son who didn't want to go in the first place was effectively coerced into joining the trip. As an experimental design, the guy could have gone by himself to test it, if a remote controlled operation wasn't an option. But no, his ego led to the death of his son and some hapless people who were also tricked.

I lament he didn't bring all his friends, family, lawyers, bankers, business associates, etc.

Good point: we are actually that child, coerced into letting those rich guys dumbness, greed and egomania destroy our world and everything on it

Great observation and one that becomes increasingly meaningful the more that we think about it
