@uberbatman Best of success at checking off all the things on that bucket list before you check out.
@bkcunningham Thanks for an honest answer. After watching one shuttle disintegrate on reentry and another blow to smithereens during launch, I can definitely appreciate that caution. But personally, now pushing 70, I ain’t got that many years left to hang around and I would go in a heartbeat if they wanted me.
@majorrich Just watching the video they put together was a deeply moving spiritual experience for me. At my age, if NASA needs a reasonably physically fit candidate who is expendable because he won’t last forever anyway, here I am.
@hearkat Hear, Hear!
And thanks for the great link.
@mazingerz88 Same here, but I’d sure love to go through it.
@Pachyderm_In_The_Room My sentiments exactly.
@flutherother Not really. Even the little we now know about the rest of the Universe says just the opposite. And there are more planets out there than there are grains of sand in all the Earth’s beaches, seas and deserts. Who can even guess what beauty lies out there to be seen by human eyes? That’s what draws us. Why else would we spend billions of dollars getting off of planet Earth?
@deni Me to, my friend. I understand completely.
