Space exploration, we need to ensure we spread out amongst the stars as humanity is no longer confined to a single planet
But to do that we need to make sure the rockets/ships are safe, reliable and idiot proof so we use guys like this as.....'early adopters/ beta testers' to work out the kinks. Once we get it fully down then we send the guys that can actually build shit.
At this point I'm not sure it wouldn't make more sense to have a kiosk with no physical access to merchandise and a robot arm that brings you your stuff when you pay. I'm sure with widespread adoption it could be brought down to 5 figures per kiosk and that would pay for itself in a few years. I'm not sure how a society functions like that though.

How would you keep hoodlums out?
Same way as ATMs do, thick steel plates.
