Astronauts aren't scary? You should ask Bart Sibrel how scary astronauts can be. (Buzz Aldrin punch. Not that he didn't have it coming!)

BTW wouldn't it be cool if Charlotte was the first person on Mars?-- a generational connection to a previous astronaut would be poetry.

Out of ~350 kids that stopped by the house last night during trick-or-treat, 15 were astronauts. A mix of blue and orange flight suits and a few white space suits as well.

My five year-old nephew was an astronaut for trick or treat. He had an orange suit.
