The answer to the question "Should nervous people be allowed to play tennis?" is really quite simple: if someone is too nervous to even hold the racquet they should not play.
I find this typical defeatist thinking, the same thing that makes people say "Please! You'll NEVER send an aardvark to the Moon. No Ants!" But there are invasive ant species everywhere (at least in the invaded areas) that could be established on the Moon with just a bit of terraforming.

"Ask NOT what the Moon can give you!

Ask what you can give the Moon..."
