Ambitious children are merely fools. Did you know that upon arrival back on Earth astronauts can hardly walk? Yuppers. Floating in zero gravity is splendid up until your legs are so atrophied you must resort to a wheel chair. Honestly kids, being an astronaut is comparable to child birth: magnificent, profound, inspiring but a big puddley mess of astronaut. None of this is meant to discourage the aeronautic pursuits of people everywhere; rather, I think it is important we face the harsh reality that (I'm sorry but) everyone can't be an astronaut.
Got it?
What if Barack Obama had decided to be an astronaut? The hope of millions: gone. The pioneer of a historic campaign: down-trodden, defeated. It is a proven fact that I think most cynics in America are simply somber woman and man-childs refusing to accept a world in which outer space is out of reach.
On a different note: my coworker talks to herself like one talks to a puppy. "I'm just a little FedEx girl today."

Isn't it interesting that on BSG they're all trying their hardest to stop being astronauts.
