    Nobody can dictate what an astronaut is and isn’t. The FAA and NASA specifically wanted it to be this way so culture wars and shit posts like this wouldn’t happen. 😮‍💨 Idk why people forget that.

        Do you get something from asking this open ended unanswerable question? Are you intending to invoke some sort of internal dialog within me? Or do you mean to imply that there’s inherently some value in this senseless article and argument that is so true that both I and the very inventors of the term and field of science are both wrong for acknowledging the senselessness of gate keeping in this way? Your question only spawns more, none of them particularly worth asking but I do find occasionally myself with an abundance of wasteable time whilst I oversee progress bars.
