Quoted: I dunno.....Mercury guys were bad-asses but I have to give a nod to the guys that landed on the moon in tin foil spacecraft and computers less powerful than the calculator I have on my desk. Shit, they're ALL ballsy in my book. This is true....the moon missions were amazing. |

Quoted: Anyone featured in "The Right Stuff", also I'd have to give it to Yuri Gagarin. Imagine being the first Human launched into space, especially with Soviet's likely more lax safety standards. Huge fucking balls. The first human to survive. |

Apollo. Think Apollo 11 & 13. Neil Armstrong taking over and landing manually. Apollo 13...well you know. Those guys went to the moon and back. Father in space than any man.
Using analog computers, all the the old tech stuff. Saturn V, six million + pounds of thrust. That shit scares the hell out of me. I would take shuttle ride in a heart beat. Apollo to the moon? NO WAY! I am to much of a wuss.
