npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 (npub1hyk…3p33) To be fair, REAL space launchers come with self-destruct systems (they're called the Flight Termination System) in case they wander off course and threaten to come down in the wrong place. Even the space shuttle had one! (Although crewed launches also have a Launch Escape System to get the astronauts to safety first.)
But yeah, self-destruct buttons for spaceships are definitely A Thing.
