    I wouldn’t mind an astronaut. At all. He’d probably kick our space program in the ass and we can finally get that moon base done.

    I read that most people that go up there, after they come back, their entire worldview changes from what they thought before, and all petty human issues become meaningless. You finally realize how precious life on Earth is, and how small we are. It’s a documented phenomenon.

      I don’t know if he’s ever been to space. Most astronauts never go.

      It’s one of those “right place, right time” things.

      Even if you’d be the best astronaut ever you need a mission to happen that requires your subject matter in a very short window.

      Still undeniable badasses
