> You know how you still need a licence and to be physically capable of driving when in a self driving vehicle because they can still fail and need you to step in?
every single person onboard of a self driving car has to have a driving license? That's not even true for regular, non self driving cars.
Space Shuttle only had 2 seats for pilots. Rest of the crew were passengers.
Dragon will be able to carry up to 7 people to orbit. They can't all be flying the spacecraft.

meh, it's not like the US had to purchase the missile specifically for this shootdown.
It was basically just a big training exercise for the US military.

> issued a permanent resident visa by the Canadian government
I tried googling it "permanent resident visa", but nothing came up.
If somebody is a permanent resident, they don't need a visa.
