Who am I? Where are my pants?
A Frenchman? Smoking a Marlboro?
That is the worldwide universal "Platinum Level" cigarette preference.
Take a few cartons of Marlboros to sub-Saharan Africa, come back with an Su-23 and an extra Su-23 for spare parts!

Sometime in the not too distant future...
"Well, Ms. FormerAstronaut, we know you have all these hours in type on Orion and conducted hundreds of successful landings on the STS replacement. But we're really looking more for a well-rounded resume...."

404: Su-23 not found
(sub-in any random Russian military jet flown in Sub-Saharan Africa)

I carried a few packs of Marlboros in my go bag on my Djibouti deployment for precisely this reason. The local on-base workers I gave them to when I was leaving reacted as if I had just given their sick child one of my kidneys. It's a strange world...

3. Ability to pass the NASA long-duration astronaut physical, which includes the following specific requirements:
Distant and near visual acuity must be correctable to 20/20, each eye. The use of glasses is acceptable.
The refractive surgical procedures of the eye, PRK and LASIK, are allowed. Note that such surgeries are permitted, but not required for potential applicants.
Since all crewmembers will be expected to fly aboard a specific spacecraft vehicle and perform EVA activities (spacewalks), applicants must meet the anthropometric requirements for both the specific spacecraft vehicle and the EVA mobility unit (spacesuit). Applicants brought in for an interview will be evaluated to ensure they meet the anthropometric requirements.

I guess that disqualifies a number of us here
