Haven't see WX0F in a synoptic in years (Indefinite Ceiling Obscured Zero
visibility in Fog), of course I quit flying in 2001. I spent 5 years in USAFE, I've seen WX0F. Les "Overlord" wrote in message et... I know this will not convince you; however, here is the Wikipedia definition of "astronaut." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronaut Dictionary.com defines it as: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/astronaut You don't have to be a pilot to meet the "travel in space" definition. OK. So anybody who has a bazillion dollars and can buy his/her way into space is an astronaut? So I could win the lottery and buy my way to the ISS and that would make me an astronaut??? What a disgrace to those brave men who risked, and lost, their lives to advance the state of the art. Gus Grissom, best stick of the bunch, once dead sticked an F-86 into WXOF (know what that means...?) would be, I think, absolutely paralyzed by your and the modern media's definition of what an "astronaut" is.
