Currently LuaEntity.get_passenger supports cars, spider vehicles and cargo pods, whereas LuaEntity.set_passenger only supports cars and spider vehicles.
This feature seems to be necessary to script-launch a rocket with a player inside.
Allow set_passenger to be used on cargo pods

Understandably one may think this tricky to implement as the player may have items in their inventories.
Personally I would be satisfied with an API which returns true only if the attempt to have the player enter the rocket was successful.

Surely the items limitation is purely for balance. Meaning it should be for the mod to verify.

+1 for Factorio Access. We eventually need a way to launch players through vanilla's mechanism and this looks like it may be the last piece of it.
