Even if I could do math, I wouldn't go into space. In space, no one can hear you scream.

Always wanted to be an astronaut. As I kid, I followed the program avidly through Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. But I also wanted to be a paleontologist. Life's paths didn't lead to either of those.
If I were offered a chance to fly to space, I wouldn't hesitate to say yes. And I'm sure many others would be quite encouraging as well.

I have no math skills...I am out. It would also be because, I don't think I would enjoy the freeze dried food.
...I am immediately DQ'ed(no, not the freakin' ice cream stand), cuz I defy the height issue....well, that and freeze dried cookies suck.....
Hmmmm, really...? Might come in handy should you need to dispatch someone then...? 
Do you think they would see through my fake American accent? (Fake diploma....fake references, bad flying skills, etc?)
Amen. If it weren't for the motion sickness and the cold dark blackness of outer space where nobody can hear you scream, I'd totally be an astronaut.
Way too claustrophobic.
Although I do think it would be pretty awesome to actually look down upon the world.

If you fart in a space capsule does that fart recirculate? Since I saw Doctor Zachary Smith, I don't want to go to space. I reckon it will end up like the Nostromo where you have a massive ship crewed by maybe a handful of people.
Mr. Magoo is one of my most favorite renditions of A Christmas Carol!
Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol 1962. I've seen it, just looked at a bit of the start, I like how those late fifties, early sixties cartoons often had neon lights flashing.
I didn't realise Jim Backus was in so much stuff. Also the actor Robert Newton. He always played a good role.

I'd love to go into space. Chris Hadfield is a hero to me. I think it's freaking amazing that he made music in space. Songs made in space. I wonder how the hell copyright works with that. 
Nothing but respect for men and women that go into space.
I couldn't do it. I don't meet the criteria and probably never will. I'd do it, though. If they, you know, offered me the job.

You ought to be a prime candidate as you're already used to the rarified air.
