79. he said 40s or 50s not 80s! c'mon, deja Q!

i don't see why a person in their late 40s/early 50s who was past child bearing couldn't do it

handling the g-forces is not gonna be an issue at that age, it actually takes a couple, three more decades for the osteoporosis to really set in

i would not go if the radiation risk meant radiation sickness/leukemia in a few weeks or months but if it only meant i had an elevated risk 30 years later when i'm 80, i would be happy to give 'er a whirl

there are old dudes fighting in iraq (in their 40s and 50s) humping 60 pound backpacks, hard to believe those guys couldn't handle lift-off
