Commander:

At 6'2" and 200 lbs with no fat, I have never had to cower in fear of
many...

However, I would expect it much more likely I would enjoy a pleasing
verbal exchange with the decent fellow--if ever I was to sit down and
have a chat with one of the fellows... and you know, by the time you
become an astronaut, petty name calling and taunts from most would not
even be heard, let alone responded to...

Life is never full of conflict--unless you go hunting it...

Yes. But do they use pencils like the russians, or pens like our
girly-men astronauts. That is the important question now, isn't
it?

Bet you wouldn't stand face-to-face with the astronuats and call
them 'girly-men'.
