US Astronauts include Two Navy Seals:



A standard question during astronaut interviews is, "What is it you do better than anyone in the world?" Naval officer and Navy seal Williams Shepherd answered, "I kill people with a knife." True story? Bill Shepherd says no, but the story has become an urban legend, told and retold, and he said its such a great story, he just lets it live on. Capt. Shepherd now retired, but another naval officer and navy seal is Chris Cassidy, who is about to blast off saturday morning with 6 other Shuttle Astronauts. they will stay on the International Space Station with the ISS 6 person crew, thats 13 people in the ISS at the same time. they will be building another platform on the ISS. They will be there for two weeks. Amazing. Supposedly you can see the ISS on a clear night with the naked eye. Chris is in picture, left.
