Be honest tho, you're gutted there isn't going to be some sort of Gen Y version of Feyd in his magnificent leather underpants!
Indeed, all the better by having Sean Harris and 'that guy who you'd never expect' pop up like a French boss.
For viewing pornology?
I shall reserve judgement, I loved Lynches Dune for just being the way it is with some genuinely creepy Lynchy stuff.
What spankpuffery is this?
Add that to the watch list. Nice one, Maurice!
Temporarily released on remand, with a custodian present at all times.You got Parole then?
There's talk of a post-film pint, but only if I conduct myself in an exemplary fashion beforehand.
So there'll be no pint for me.
These lads are rich gobshites with far too much money who paid exorbitant amounts to go on a glorified funfair ride:
Well it looks like Bezos even ed off Shatner

There they are now, the best of the best. Truly a fine bunch of lads possessing the "Right Stuff".
It would only become perfection if there was an Alexa inside the rocket and you had to say ALEXA, LAUNCH ROCKET
At which point the reply would be "adding lunch rocket to your Amazon shopping list."
Cue ten minutes of yelling at it ("I'm sorry I don't know that") unplugging it and plugging it back in, asking about who has the Alexa app on their phones so they can get it connected onto the wifi again, before finally giving up.
Like Mick (who drives for Uber) said, can you imagine how close you would get to the ground before the automatic parachutes opened, after Alexa bought you a gym membership, three range rovers, and a round the world trip with Qantas?!
There is a new (ok not great) film on prime called infinite, that is very clearly sponsored by aston martin, and bezos, due to the Alexa question, which woke mine up - asking me about curtains....such a pita when not wanted.
I am offended as an ex scouser (I ran to the south).
You forgot the Eh and the Mate...
Eh Eh Eh Eh, Calm Down mate calm down. eh eh.
is a pilot a pilot if his plane takes off, flies and lands on it's own as some can do?
Is a person camping if they goto a park and sleep in an RV ?
is a train conductor a conductor if his train does everything by itself?
it's very much expected that most future space flights if they go according to mission wont require human intervention. So are astronauts extinct?
the people you portray as true astronauts have the stipulations you've given to the moniker because of what was available at the time they did it... If rockets could do then what they can do now, they would have made a similar set of actions and have nothing additional to prove that they are an astronaut vs any current civilian one. Are you only an astronaut when things suck and you have to overcome them? are you only one if you do a bunch of stuff while up there instead of just look out a window, like maybe turn on some experiments and then turn them off when they're done? Maybe orbit the planet a couple times.
Your definition is chasing a preconceived image of what you want an astronaut to be, and not a practical one that differentiates the moniker. Perhaps new ones will need to be made, to differentiate all the humans who will eventually go into space and know nothing about it.... vs those who know everything about it. Like the difference between professional drivers and any idiot who can breath getting behind the wheel of a car. Both are still technically drivers though.
I had this debate with the police once, but they kept pointing to the empty bottles. I told the judge they planted them.
If I had to be serious, I would say.. the ones who are, or should be, considered astronauts, are the ones who are responsible for "doing things" especially if something doesn't go to plan. Everyone else is just a passenger.
Much like a driver of a regular car or even the one behind the wheel of a semi-autonomous one, they are the driver responsible for their passengers.
A pilot, may well have the plane do everything.. but if those things are not doing what they should be, the pilot should be able to take over and take matters into their own hand, again, responsible for the passengers.
That kind of thing, in a lazy way.. so eh eh calm down mates...
