So easy to gamble with other people's lives and money. Let's admit it was really about his position and career, not 'wanting to travel in space'. He wasn't travelling; he was approving dangerous vehicles. He was trusted to delay launches when necessary. It was a complete fail on the VP's part, and all to improve his own 'numbers'. Not some noble goal.

I'm sure he rewrote it in his mind later, so he could live with himself. Because, of course, he was the kind of guy that rewrote things to suit his agenda.
