You don't know, anything that would preemptively help to save human lives should be considered. Sending unmanned fighters or drones to probe a spaceship and gather data is wiser than sending humans to the task.

Sure. For how long tho. Also, when you fly a plane at twice the sound speed with a screen in front of you, you are already inside like a total simulated environment, your only human instinct used here is your survival instinct, which will, conveniently, save a multi-million dollars
plane from being destroyed.
