Depends what you hit. A guard rail designed to absorb impact, sure.
A rather large tree, not so much. A concrete wall of a building, less so.
The quicker your seat comes to a stop, the higher the peak energy your body must absorb - Internal organs being smashed against each other.
If the front of the car crumples, the rate of acceleration you are subject to is lowered. Your liver doesn't split open, your neck doesn't snap and your brain doesn't squash itself against the inside of your skull.

My car has $1200 keys. I bought a second-hand one from Yahoo Auctions in Japan, cost $60.

Move countries then. If I crash into someone (not on purpose) I'm not liable for their medical bills. ACC pays for it. They can't even sue me.

What American companies make cars theses days? Apart from Tesla.

Yes, because steam is black... the steam is full of partially burnt fuel. Volatile organic compounds, the stuff that gives you lung cancer.

Fried eggs taste better than raw eggs.

That's backwards. Schools should be funded inversely based on the wealth of the families of the children attending.
The poorer the kids, the more state funding.

If you have the money and can use it to piss off other rich people who pissed you off, just do it!

Did you not see the thrusters it's already got were more than capable of manoeuvring it? In fact, they provided too much thrust and over-corrected it, apparently due to a problem with the valve or control software.

I'm pretty sure Elon Musk doesn't want to risk falling off a cliff

You want to add a tank of highly toxic fuel to rocket that tends to explode when it lands?

You're implying they will not be any bundling?

Microsoft asked Darkside if they could deliver the changes requested in the original budget. Darkside said yes.
As soon as Microsoft found out that was no longer the case, they pulled out. Being stupid would have been giving Darkside more money.

Also, Defense contracts would be slightly more than $5M, Auditing alone would cost more than that.
Darkside had a good reputation before all this. They had reason to believe they could do what they said they could.

What's the worst thing that could happen? The fuel tank leaks and explodes shortly after takeoff, showering the ground nearby with burning wreckage, or leaking rocket fuel higher up in the atmosphere, without igniting it, coating everything around with toxic, un-burnt fuel, ready to set half a state on fire?

They could have given them $3M ($8M in total) more, and still had nothing to show for it.
Keep in mind they only spent $2M of the planned $5M by the time they cancelled the contract. Darkside agreed to the scope changes one week after signing the contract. As far as Microsoft was concerned, it was fine. Darkside showed they couldn't deliver what they agreed to in the budget agreed upon, why give them more money? They'll just fail to deliver again.
