After seeing so many explosions, I’d agree with Woods on this. I don’t know if I would do it if offered the opportunity. Murphy hasnt always been in my favor...

My old neighbor — they sold their house in Montana and moved to Arizona to be near their child and Grand kids — was a professor at our local college. He was an Astro physicist.
One day were were at their house having drinks and I noticed a few engraved beer mugs above a kitchen cabinet.
“What are those? I asked.
“Those are keepsakes.”
“From what,” I asked.
“The space shuttle Challenger, that’s the last time I went to space.”
Turns out he had been to SkyLab three times as well...
They were a nice couple as long as you didn’t talk politics.
IMHO, Woods’ post is a back-handed compliment, pointing out that they were in space for just a few minutes. Basically saying it was nothing but a really high joy ride by today’s normal space flight standards.
