astronauts

Any thing that can cut off the life support mechanism of the Earth to the Astronauts or the colony, would mean their survival was no longer guaranteed.

Sounds like it actually would be more comfortable, had the astronauts had accomodations more equivalent to those on Earth.

Too failure prone (it killed a lot more astronauts than Soyuz even though Soyuz is older).

Architecture astronauts are everywhere and they are mostly a-holes that create chaos for the rank-and-file.

That's just architecture astronauts with too much exposure to COM designing a firmware API.

The Saturn V rocket, which sent astronauts to the moon, was actually more powerful.

That's all actual astronauts have to know about space this craft before boarding?

Architecture astronauts strive for perfection of design, engineers for getting the job done.

Everyone knows astronauts are brave; those men died for a door hinge.

What of astronauts, or those who will inevitably live on Mars someday?

It didn't seem possible that with all that focused attention on getting those 7 astronauts safely into space that such a thing could happen.

It was just a bunch of crackpots playing at being astronauts.

Ok, so what if I told you that "people in your office aren't astronauts because they aren't interested in being astronauts"?

The short version is that a Native American recorded a message to be taken into space - "Watch out for these guys [US astronauts]; they've come to steal your land." This link did not address a couple of important issues: 1) What resources are worth the expense?
