Yeah I was gonna put that, but it doesn't seem as cool as I used to think.
Seems like (Cosm|Astr)onauts spend years & years training for one (or if
they're lucky, two or three) ten day trip in space. Granted, it might be
worth it -- athletes spend as much time preparing for a 1 hour game,
musicians spend as much time preparing for a 30 minute performance -- but
impatient me wants the trip more than the training. I bet that guy that
spent millions for a ride on Soyuz feels it was worth every damn penny. :)
