Fucking WHY? You need wasm when you don't know your hardware target. Why would you not know your target in a space mission?
An interpreter is significantly easier to sandbox than native execution, and it means they can make guarantees the host system won't crash no matter what the program running is.
I could see it being useful for allowing third parties to run experiments on their hardware in space without having to manually verify the code safety.
