:1orglaugh :1orglaugh you went to google as well I can see

Damn, that's a shitty salary considering how much education they need. :(

Nice.. they aren't in it for the money anyways. Most astronauts could be making way more money doing other things.

$275,000 plus free miles on their cc

I'm sure they make much more money from endorsements and convention speaking...

Yup, they're in it for the space girls from mars

Depends on who sponsors their space suits.

If you broadcast live from space with a starbucks logo on your chest, you make a lot of money.

:1orglaugh Smart!:winkwink:

ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZ almost funny

Or if you get naked with golden-palace wrote on you

Yes, and don't forget the risk to be in the sky.

i think its 37cents a mile...

they get paid a commission depending on how many aliens they bag per trip
