I, too, love to justify oppressive hierarchy by inventing scenarios where sometimes the oppressor acts with charitable benevolence.

I mean this isnt even charitable benevolence. They go to the vacations to serve the family, even in the example of the trip to space you would be working too.

True. It's the epitome of a "working vacation" for the staff.

At great personal risk, in the example of a space or near-space flight.
