Hell yeah, I'd do it in a heartbeat right now.

The early years were rough, I remember a lot of that stock footage from the first 10 minutes of Part 2 of The Right Stuff. I love rockets and spaceflight. It was a pretty bumpy ride through the Agena, Juno, Redstone, and Atlas rockets... but once we gained the knowledge, and worked out all the kinks... Look where it got us... 45 years later... we haven't advanced all that much in terms of manned spaceflight. Pretty sad...

But if they want someone to strap one of those on... I'm right here.
