@dipaknadkarni62 Месяц назад

Well, I have always wanted to be an astronaut. My father was a Ph.D. In electrical and aerospace engineering so when I grew up we lived in Houston, TX during Gemini and Apollo and then in Florida during shuttle missions to name a few things he did, excluding civil service to the military. I Graduated from Duke University in 1982 (Chemistry/Psychology), a medical degree in 1993, nearly 30 years as a Navy Family physician, retiring in 2021. So my age this year will be 64 in August, still in good shape. I believe that age limits will be my downfall. What do you think?

@0IIIIII Месяц назад

You have led an esteemed and prolific life, you should be proud. I think you might be able to work for NASA but given your age you are probably indeed too old to be an astronaut even if everything else was in line.
