Space travel is dangerous.
Everything is trying to kill you.
A single widget, even fractionally on the pizz, will do it.
It's not like turning the radio up in your van, to drown out that annoying rumbling or knocking.
And space travel doesn't happen on paper or a computer screen.
Being pragmatic keeps people alive.
NASA people might dream big but, when it really comes to it, they're pragmatists.

Quite a significant qualifier.
I applied, my NVQ is sufficient....OMG, call me Captain Pete....
The laws of physics are not going to change significantly enough to allow humans to travel to the nearest star. You can have such fun with theories though, it can keep a thread going for ages.

I am applying too. I think they will take me for my extraordinary looks and amazing muscles as a great advert for NASA, I will probably be a major though not a mere captain. I imagine we could get on the first flight to Mars and I would be over you. It would be great to have our photos taken peering out the windows on the launch pad and telling the doubters on here "told you so" as we blast off to Mars imagine how everyone on this forum would fell.
The crew.....Me, you, motorbiking and noseall....
Nosall could build us a house when we get there, us 3 will just laugh and say told ya.
