Balls the size of watermelons.
Another anecdote stuck in my head from the 80s....
John Young, veteran of several space missions, first ever Space shuttle pilot. On his right Robert Crippen, rookie, first ever mission to space.
During the last few seconds before liftoff John Young's heart rate was in the
70s or 80 beats per minute...Crippens double that.
Balls......nothing but the highest respect for these guys...and girls!
