"If the dinosaurs had a space program, they'd still be here." - Ron Garan

Q: "What was going through your mind as you were coming back to earth?"
A: "I hope the heat shield and parachutes work"

Some really interesting perspectives as well as a healthy dose of silliness. Good read.

Aliens do exist. They gather at the Walmart every Sunday. I have seen them.

i liked how Ron got baited a few times

Random Troll:  It's always been a dream of mine that we blow up the moon.  Ever think we'll get there?
RG: Sure, if we put our collective mind to it anything is possible
RG: I should really read the whole question before answering
Other Random Troll:  Ron Garan endorses destroying moon!

Great read tho, makes me want to be an astronaut... but then I remember that I get sick just spinning my kids around in the yard.  Nope, I'm good.

I keep telling my wife if we ever hit the mega-jackpot, I'm paying 35 mil to the Russians and taking a trip to the ISS.  She doesn't like that idea too much...
