    I don’t know if he’s ever been to space. Most astronauts never go.

    It’s one of those “right place, right time” things.

    Even if you’d be the best astronaut ever you need a mission to happen that requires your subject matter in a very short window.

    Still undeniable badasses

      He has. He and his twin brother were actually part of a study into the effects of long term space habitation (his trips were shorter). They’re the only two siblings to ever both go to space.

      Shame there’s absolutely no way in the world we can ever know if he’s been to space. We’ll just have to guess because of lack of recorded history.
