I know an astronaut!!!
Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2013 6:11 pmNASA announced their new astronaut class today, and I know one of them!

He was a physics major at my college, graduating my freshman year. He was a TA of mine, we were in the Society of Physics Students together, and both too Philosophy of Science.
Even though I remember him, he may not remember me....at least not without a little prodding.
What makes it doubly cool is that he's from the town where MrPi grew up,and the same age! MrPi went to a catholic school in a different town so they wouldn't have been classmates. But I have to find out if he knew him anyway! That would be awesome....
In reference to the middle age thread.....he is the only one in the class *older* than me. Wow.

(tho I doubt it would happen since they get so many applying that they'd just cut me out based on grades alone...)
