Bro, we had a pandemic and people refused to wear masks. The characters are the equivalent of space truckers taking off their COVID masks the first chance they get. You don't think that is realistic? I'm sorry but they act exactly how I would expect life long space truckers act. Look at how hard OSHA/regulators have to push.

This was one day ago. For this to happen that guy would have to have tied off the safety switch:

People get really dumb/lazy when they get complacent. That is half the message of the franchise. Life has become routine labor, corporate control, and handing over oversight to someone else (synthetics) because everyone is on cruise control and only doing their little piece because they are on their 500th boring space trucker run.
