thinking of becoming an astronaut? it seems that years of training at NASA doesnt mean you are going to fly...

Good Grief,

In those seven years they could have gone to Mars and back a couple of times and probably still have time to build a Mars Base!

Must be very patient people!

It would be so awsome for the space flight into space, have a look around and come back to earth, but i think you would have to be a different sort of person to be able to wait for so long for your space flight. (if any) Don`t you think that we are all so lucky that we can go all the way up there and beyond the easier way from our backyards.
