You don’t think humanity would ever willingly go for destructive uploading?

Understand my meaning, do not cleave my words. I mean of course “six billion mind-state annihilations,” and I highly doubt you were not able to think of that interprentation.

But there are any number of failure points and combinations thereof that would be mission-fatal during flight.
