Hardly. In fact I had never seen any ocean anywhere until NASA asked a Tennessee ridge runner to become a rocket scientist...and now I are one...
So it really DOES take a rocket scientist to run an RPM meet.
I was already too fat to be an astronaut by the time I found out I was also claustrophobic. But I was always a space fanboy, still am. Went to the Atlantis exhibit yesterday and it is VERY impressive.
