npub1psdfxfpxz2cwmmnsk60y3nqpn2tqh9n24h4hstvfkwvr6eaek9js499sr7 (npub1psd…9sr7) npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 (npub1hyk…3p33) Warships historically had mechanisms to allow them to be scuttled by their own crews if necessary. That required the active participation of a good number of people, though, and wasn’t just a handy button that one person could press when it all became too much.

Sci-if spaceships might have similar devices for similar reasons, but there’d probably be safeguards. Dual-key systems? Or just put it under control of the ship’s AI & keep humans entirely out of the loop?
