Somehow I feel more "represented" by VLC than I do by any of the astronauts.

    I wonder why...
    VLC: a free and open source video player meant to be used by literally everyone.
    Astronauts: a select few chosen people with little to no health problems, in top physical and mental form one could only dream of having.
    I think the Simpsons were on to something when they sent Homer to space.

    I think we shouldn't make it looks like it's easy to be an astronaut. Those people are crazy. They are PhD smart and Olympic level fit. This does not come naturally.

    Edit : and JB from VLC is probably one of the most interesting guy to listen to, if you find some of his talks/interviews
