Who Wants to Be an Astronaut

I have recently come to a decision. I am not going to become an astronaut. Yes, yes it was something I had been planning on working on. I was having some difficulty working it in, but it was still part of the plan. Alas, after reading the news yesterday that there is yet another foam problem, I have withdrawn my name from the great space race. Houston, you have a problem. Your problem is that you might have just lost one of the best astronauts ever! After all, I got an A in Astronomy. I can't say that about a lot of my college classes, so I think the message is clear - I was gifted - I was made to be an astronaut. You have lost out NASA. Godspeed to my former comrads who are now docked at the International Space Station or ISS to those of us who are or were in the business.
