Actually, the base level GS-11 pay grade, with a location adjustment for Houston, apparently translates to about $65K. I really hope that, like military pay, gets boosted with all sorts of crazy allowances, because $65K just seems... unbecoming.
My office is more spacious than the ISS, is quieter, safer and probably smells better, but I can't beat their view.
I would trade places with any astronaut without thinking twice.
My best hope is that access to space becomes cheap enough that "willing" becomes "good enough".
really? money would be a concern for you when you were going to space?
Exactly. I'd take a negative salary (I'd pay them) for that job.
