Kelly is good at following orders. And does what his party leaders say. Look at his voting record. As far as being an astronaut, so what? There called a “man in a can” for a reason. A fighter pilot is another story, especially if he has combat experience? I don’t think has any? So you don't think being a "man in a can" requires certain skills? You do the man an injustice. Actually you do every astronaut in America a disservice. In reality, your comment “man in a can” is very disrespectful. "In December 1987, Kelly became a naval aviator and received initial training on the A-6E Intruder attack aircraft. He was then assigned to Attack Squadron 115 (VA-115) at NAS Whidbey Island in the state of Washington. He was deployed twice with VA-115 to the Persian Gulf aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway, which was homeported at Atsugi, Japan. During Operation Desert Storm, Kelly flew 39 combat missions. Following the Gulf War, Kelly received his master's degree and then attended U.S. Naval Test Pilot School from 1993 to 1994. As a naval aviator and test pilot, he has logged over 5,000 hours in more than 50 different aircraft and trapped over 375 carrier landings.[21]" "During his Navy career, Kelly received two Defense Superior Service Medals; one Legion of Merit; two Distinguished Flying Crosses; four Air Medals (two individual/two strike flight) with Combat "V"; two Navy Commendation Medals, (one with combat "V"); one Navy Achievement Medal; two Southwest Asia Service Medals; one Navy Expeditionary Medal; two Sea Service Deployment Ribbons; a NASA Distinguished Service Medal; and an Overseas Service Ribbon.[21][22]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Kelly Actually “man in a can” is not disrespectful. Read the book “The Right Stuff”. All the fighter pilots and test pilots referred to astronauts that way. (And most still do).

Read the book “The Right Stuff”. All the fighter pilots and test pilots referred to astronauts that way. (And most still do). You're quoting from a book published in 1979? A book that came out 45 years ago? A book that describes astronauts in space capsules? I hate to bring you into the current world but they have been using reusable space shuttles since 1981. "As far as being an astronaut, so what? There called a “man in a can” for a reason." It's very plain that you do not have much respect for Kelly politically. That's ok. It's what America is about. But don't disrespect what it takes to become an astronaut and be one.. They are hardly "men in a can" anymore.
