The bone deep courage of astronauts will always astonish me. I find it quite hard to marry that realisation with the fact these are human beings, with the same flaws and weaknesses we all share. Every one of them is a superhero to me, and I bless the day I actually got to shake the hand of one of them, one of my lifelong golden moments.
