FAA Criteria Change for Astro Wings

**WaterZebra** · 07-24-2021, 10:31 AM

What a pile of BS! FAA decides to revise the criteria to qualify for astronauts wings just as Branson and Bezos get up there. They should award wings to both crews and make the criteria change AFTER that point. I don't think Shepard, Glenn, Grissom and Armstrong would be happy about this. Kennedy either. You get up there on your own steam ($$$$) you deserve the wings. This jibberish about a national objective stuff is pure crap.

Rich guys will just buy their own stinking wings. Don't worry about it.

surely you have to do an orbit to say you are an astronaut?

Agreed X 2 .
And all this Branson and Bezos space race BS - REALLY ,
I guess we forgot about the amazing things Musk has accomplished in the last few years as easy as we accept Epstein killed himself

And before you say it - Did Musk actually go up ? - NO .
Did dip**** and uncle Festor send REAL ASTRONAUTS to the Space Station and Back ????
I think not-
