Eh, perhaps mission is a bit much, with the military connotations, but they are testing some valid hypotheses, like will high radiation render billionaires sterile/cancer ridden and will an untested spacesuit kill one. Worthy in my mind.
Morbid humour aside, it’s not totally a joyride, could be worse.
Don’t disagree, just looking at it from the Lord Farquaad point of view, “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make”. I think space exploration is good and if we have to burn a few billionaires to get there, I am sanguine.

Just because it’s dangerous and not always fun doesn’t make it a “mission”. Exactly like when some rich schmuck pays 150k to climb Everest.
