Easy. If you can afford to be a space tourist, you can afford to put $5M in escrow for your future medical expenses.

Let's take risks people!

I’m so glad society has teams allocated to identifying these hard-hitting issues. It’s true - we don’t have enough consumer protections in place for space tourists. A poor innocent space tourist could “go to space” without fully understanding that “space can be dangerous”. Thankfully, these analysts discovered this issue before too many people were “at risk”. Future space tourists will have to sign a waver, or watch a presentation, or something.

The interesting question here is who paid for this “study”, and who from the register accepted the bribes to get this dogshit published.
