    ...or even the first to be on Mars

    http://astronauts.nasa.gov/

    NASA accepting applications for Mars astronauts. My application will focus on my obsession with Omega Speedmasters. That, and a BS in Computer Science should really be enough (as long as they don't ask for my GPA) :D

    Well, I am out. No STEM degree and no pilot in command hours.

    I know how to operate a Speedmaster. Not sure why that was not a requirement :)

    Thank you for your order. While we wait for your fries to cook, did you know that the inventor of French fries was a French army medical officer named Antoine-Augustine Parmentier? He was captured in the Seven Year War and was served potatoes as prison rations. This was unusual because at the time, potatoes were only used for animal feed since they were believed to be poisonous to humans. He was one of the first people who claimed that potatoes were edible to humans and started cooking, baking and frying them up. He had one hell of a time convincing people that potatoes are delicious though, but French fries and the sort started to gain popularity eventually when the people didn't have anything else to eat.

    Like I said....IN THE BAG!

    Love it! I'm sure with this added to your cover letter your resume will find its way to the top of the stack leaping over the test pilots and advanced degree holders.

    Well, I've got the marine bio covered (hope there is a hidden ocean out there), and over 1000hrs of PIC time. Too bad it's in piston engine aircraft. :(

    Disregard my previous post...I got all excited and forgot about my craptastic college GPA...sort of along the lines of Dean Wormer's quotation from the movie Animal House...
