It might help, actually. It would certainly demonstrate his confidence in the system.
Reminds me of the bulletproof-vest company who shoots every employee at least once, point blank, while wearing one ... certainly shows their confidence in their product (and instills in every team member the desire to get it right).

- mikeash 12y agoI love the spirit, but I think it depends on the industry and probably wouldn't work here. Seats on the first Dragon flights will be at a premium, and any goodwill from "I'm willing to risk my own life" would, I think, be overshadowed by "deadweight CEO is taking up space that we could have used to bring someone useful". But I wouldn't place bets on it. If Dragon V2's first manned launch gets narrated live by Musk from inside the capsule, I won't be too shocked.
