    Also, most astronauts quit pretty early, well before retirement, because it's so stressful. This is a job where literally the only way to get it is to devote your life to doing so, but even then, it's too stressful for most.

        If that happens, they will learn the hard way that space is very unforgiving and doesn't care how rich you are.

      I hope they all agree that launching billionaires out of the airlock is the best course forward and continue to do so until the billionaires get the fucking picture

      I mean, even setting aside the job stress, they deal with radiation, muscle atrophy, apparently something bad happens to your eyes if you spend extended time in null g. And you're cooped up in a tin can that smells like twenty years of packaged meal farts whenever you're on the ISS.
