What about the "serve as commander or crew member" part?

are the members of the crew of Blue Origin 3 not 'crew members'?

  If I drive onto the ferry am I part of the crew? I’ve been told (trained) on what to do and I’m equipped (my car), so am I a crew member? No, I’m just a passenger following the crew’s direction.

    If you are the only one aboard then you are crew.

      If the ferry is fully automated and I don't do anything beyond parking my car safely I wouldn't say I was crew then, I'm still just a passenger until I actually do something for the operation of the vehicle/craft.

  Is the passenger sitting in 23E on a flight from Newark to LA a "crew member"?

  Is a passenger on a commercial flight a crew member? Would you call every passenger an “airman”?

    I’d ask their name and call them that. I’m under no obligation to recognize anyone as anything but an average human without proof they’re actually skilled as they claim. Titles are political euphemism. I want to know someone’s profile to know who I am dealing with. You’re a doctor? Of ants. Not helpful when I need someone that studied human anatomy. None of these titles explain the training involved. The honestly gained skill set based on direct learning. Bezos isn’t a genius; he’s a politically elevated person due to financial success. Humans will never live among the stars as the meat bags we are; far more likely we etch a simulated human consciousness into a new medium than adapt this biology. We’re just watching one guy get his jollies off at our political expense. Titillate the masses to keep them politically disorganized. Humans used to wage holy wars, invade other nations to do that. Now it’s engineering and economic spectacle. What a trivial and boring people I live among. Collectively setting themselves aside to ogle this stuff.
