I listened to the audio called Nice Work If You Can Get It. it was pretty much just about astronauts. I think i picked a pretty bad audio clip to lsiten to because it doesnt really relate to film in anyway i can think of, but ill still talk about it. It was fairly interesting because i learned more things about astronauts than i had previously known. According to this, i guess that astronauts hardly ever go into space, and if you are an astronaut that doesnt even mean youll ever make it to space. So, i guess being an astronaut isnt even that cool of a job because you hardly ever get to go to space, and if youre a lucky enough astronaut to be able to make it to space, odds are youll only go there once, possibly twice. The lady being interviewed also said that she rarely gets to do astronaut related things that she enjoys, such as simulating space walking. They then talked to that guy who plays the PC in those annoying apple commericals. It seemed like he didnt have much to say, and just rambled on about some story. For some reason it would only load ten minutes adn thirteen seconds, so his story got cut off but i wasnt really interested in it anyways. The part about the astronauts was way more interesting. So, i guess being an astronaut isnt nearly as cool as i thought it was going to be, and i guess that it wouldnt even be that fun.
