Manic Monday Bonus--Don't #$%^ With Neil Armstrong, Dude!
I'm sure that there are many, many qualifications for being an astronaut...

I think this was pretty clearly jumping on the bandwagon, i.e., astronauts are hot, kids want to be astronauts, promise them your product/process will make them like astronauts. In the 40's the tagline was "Commando tough" because during the War Commando's were sold as real-life supermen. If they were still running the ads today's would probably be "Navy Seal Tough".
ReplyDeleteBuzz Aldrin did punch out a moon landing denier a few years back. So he's still kicking ass.
