Get ready to blast off this weekend, as we look at one of the biggest childhood wish fulfillment jobs of all time! But does it live up to the hype? Let’s find out…
The job: Astronaut
You might like this job if: You enjoy flying, astronomy, eating dehydrated food and wearing adult diapers. And also if you really want to increase your chances of meeting extraterrestrial life.
The good: You’ll be a freaking astronaut! You get to fly around space and see things firsthand that few people will ever get to see. You’ll help chart the destiny for mankind among the stars. You get to wear a spacesuit. And all the free Tang you can drink.
The bad: You’ll have to REALLY like dehydrated food. Also, your ship won’t be that spacious, and if you screw up in space, everyone will know about it. Not to mention that after you return to Earth, you’ll have to go through quite a bit of physical therapy to regain some abilities. Like walking. Also, this is how you will have to go to the bathroom.
Summary: Besides giving up a few useful amenities that you probably take for granted way too much on Terra Firma, it’s a lot of hard work and dedication, but come on! Astronaut!
