Aren't astronauts by definition bat shit crazy? We have people lining up for one-way missions to Mars. Not to say this is a bad thing, but their ROI calculations are not normal.
- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> Aren't astronauts by definition bat shit crazy? By poetic definition, e.g. “Here’s to the Crazy Ones,” yes. Clinically and technically, no. They’re paragons of human explorers, and exploration is a fundamentally human trait. > We have people lining up for one-way missions to Mars How many astronauts?

- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> sometimes, clinically: yes Sure. Compared to population, no. > More than we can send Which astronauts said they’d be fine with a one-way mission? > Wasn't there a country-wide competition? Was there? You’re the one making the claim.

- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> Glad you agree with the crazy I don’t. Having mental illness in a population below baseline rates isn’t crazy. Nowak’s story is notable for a reason. > Google is your friend re; Mars one-way astronauts So you don’t have a source. Because I’m not finding any astronauts going on the record on this.
