I've actually got a bad feeling about this, it just makes my Spidey Sense tingle - I hope it goes well.

It's like if you invented a time machine and took Michael J Fox back to 1955. Or, if Google finally perfected the self driving car and invited The Hoff to accompany it for a spin.

Any more examples? (Yes, it's a slow night at work)

I don't think that's a recent photo in the article.

How long can a 90 year old sustain 6g those are brittle bones and organs about to be squished within an inch of their life.

Agreed, he's gonna have to kling on for dear life.

Yea wtf, how does he look that good at 90

Agree, it's highly illogical that a man could reach that age and still be fit enough for space flight.
