Does this mean we can buy NASA mission patches in Yosemite gift shops? How about some neat plastic rockets? Don't forget astronaut food in those "just add water" squishy thing-a-majings with the fold up straw. Carry it out with you poop pants? Should I stop now?

no, stop, enough!

1. The Jet Pack is free but training costs $2,000,000.00
2. Estimated max elevation is 250 feet.
