Sorry to be a scold but wagering on people dying should not be legal!

The scam won't even let you claim it.
there are actually huge economic reasons for a market like this to exist for hedging purposes
imagine you’re another space contractor for the U.S. govt and the rocket explodes (or even just fails to deliver payload)
this can have dramatic effect on your prospects for future contracts even if you’re not the manufacturer of the one in question
in fact there are tons of markets that could result in people dying for which there are perfectly legitimate economic reasons for hedging around. storms, agricultural production (famine), outbreak of war or military strikes, etc.
the true illegality needs to be around assasination markets — that is, betting that death will occur when the bettor can cause the death in the first place
