I think the spider would be utterly decimated, along with his web.....maybe his bereaved could file a lawsuit and claim on his life insurance instead

Your premise may be invalid. Web material is quite strong and the web itself is quite light. It would be a rare case when a well constructed web would be destroyed by the mere shaking and 7 g acceleration of a shuttle lauch.
The defense would be, in a case where the web was destroyed, that it was the web's design and construction that was faulty at to blame for the loss.
A civil case only need to be determined on a balance of proof, this defense might hold in most cases. The onus would then be on the spider to show that she built her spider to withstand the 'normal' rogors of the launch, and that it is NASA's fault that the launch was not normal.
This could be very difficult for a spider to prove, specially given that she would likely not have a lawyer.

No. The spider has no standing and no rights.
