Gees, a bunch of romantics 8).

This is one of the reasons why they selected military test pilots (ability
to follow some orders 8).  To quote a Commander who will go unnamed,
this is why you select officers out.  To get to that level you have
weeded out the people who would consider things like that.  It has
advantages and disadvantages, and they have been considered thru the
years.  But if you ever apply for such a job in the near future, and
you get a what-if question like this, you had best consider your
answer carefully, and the consequences of lying 8).

In a different vein.  I just heard GB's space speech this morning.
Totally uninspired.  Just seeking media attention.  Next week it
will be something else.  Wanting cake and eating it, too.  Maybe
we need an Alpha Centari initiative 8).  Take us away from B-2s.

Another gross generalization from
