Three, Five, or Seven Days of Airport and Port Parking from Air & Sea Parking (Up to Half Off)

NASA’s manned shuttle program ended not because of a lack of interest on the part of astronauts but because so few people could complete the rigorous astronaut training process. Here’s a look at the extreme tests given to would-be space jockeys:

Human Centrifuge: This giant man-spinner rotates thousands of times per minute to simulate the effects of the space shuttle accidentally getting caught in a giant centrifuge.

16-Minute Mile: Would be easy except that the astronauts have to race while simultaneously writing an essay-length evocation of the perfect sunrise

A Series of Riddles: To prepare for the riddles that the real space station will ask after it comes alive

Media Training: Helps returned astronauts face reporters even after learning the horrible truth that the back half of the moon is simply not there anymore

Forlornness Simulator: Not for space, where astronauts stay occupied with work, but for their return to Earth after the empty vastness of space has opened their eyes to human existence’s overwhelming lack of meaning
