$3 million is what your life is worth if you're killed in a rocket accident, according to the FAA. Here's why government auditors say that number is a problem.

noted some progress on the matter, but found the FAA still under-prioritizing the matter and, as of publication, the agency is still using the $3 million figure.

"What if it's a really, really, really bad day, and the losses add up to more than that amount?" Nield said of the total $2 billion. More than two years after the GAO filed what appears to be its latest report, the FAA is still using $3 million as its cost-of-casualty amount as other upcoming launch systems, like Starship and Blue Origin's New Glenn and New Armstrong rockets, move toward reality.
