Every kid wants to be an astronaut, right?Maybe it was my intense claustrophobia, maybe it was getting let out of class to go watch the Challenger lift-off live on TV with the other nerds, or maybe I just didn't want to live in the shithole that is Houston, Texas. Whatever the reason was, despite my ideal combination of incredible math ability and good physical health, I never wanted to be an astronaut. Instead, I wanted to be an architect--that and get laid. I put my mind to it, and eventually I achieved my goals. Although both took a while.
Going up in space and drinking lots of Tang seemed cool and all, but I just wasn't that interested. Of course, that was before I knew about the diaper-wearing kidnapper love-triangles and pre-launch pre-func booze-athons. Shit, if I had known how much fun they were having on the ground I might have wanted to be an astronaut too.
Oh well, I'm going to go take my protein pill and put my helmet on.

I always liked Tang and wanted to be an astronaut also when I was a kid. I even had records with recordings of John Glen on them from space.
Hell, I'd like to see what a re-make of the right stuff would be rated now!
