Are you saying that he can’t have a conversation? If both his kids agree that he should go to the moon and he wants to go to the moon. He would still be a bad dad for going to the moon? I’m super confused by that line of logic.

The situation is straightforward: he had no right to take that level of risk. There was a real possibility he could have died and left his children behind. That risk is excessive, regardless of the mission’s importance or exclusivity.

The minutia and context is irrelevant.
