Starting pay for strapping yourself to a rocket filled with explosive chemicals is only 65k? Wow NASA is on a tight budget.

/I'd still do it though

Do you know how many times I watched that before I realized that Steve Martin is actually the one juggling the cats?

Also, "(Tonight) You Belong To Me" is one of the sweetest songs ever, especially with the trumpet solo.

One of the more subtle The Jerk headline references. Well done, subby.

$65k a year for a 1 in 200 or so chance of being blown up.

Bartenders make much more and the only hazard they have to deal with is cheap and/or horny patrons.

Our labor value system is completely out-of-whack in this country.

Unfortunately I'd do even worse than Navin, I think I've waited too long and would also fail the "date of birth".

I see what you did there. Well played, subby!

A very smart, talented, wonderful woman I know applied. I hope she gets it, because I can't think of a single person more deserving.

Before the trolls start, she's an aerospace engineer and works at JSC. Yes, she actually deserves it.

Bon chance, Juniper!

Got a buddy going up again soon; a veteran of one shuttle flight. The guy has no life. I mean, his entire life is training and travelling. I'd still do it.

Every time my doc bugs me about my pre-hypertensive blood pressure, I bug him back by pointing them to this line in the qualification standards:

"Blood pressure not to exceed 140/90 measured in a sitting position"

$65K? I would do it for half that! Strap me in and light that firecracker. The only thing I think I would have a problem with is pooping in space.

My crappy eyesight is just one of the things that disqualify me.
