I love the totally illogical idea of self-destruction in space travel.
Like we don’t have self-destruct bombs on ships or planes or research stations on earth (I’m sure there’s an exception or two, but they prove the point), why the fuck would we have them in space, which is a much more fragile environment to exist within…?
Computer shutdown procedures sure, but what possible use is a bomb that’s made to blow up your own vessel? Just so silly.
Didn’t German u-boats get sunk by their crew rather than allow that tech to get into the hands of the Allied powers?
I would think self destruct is the same concept.

EMERGENCY MEETING!
“Better late than never”…? Oof.
