I had the honor of meeting Dr. Bluford, aka Guy, and think he's kind of inspiring! In case you didn't immediately recognize him, Guy was the first African-American astronaut in space, completing 4 space flights in his lifetime.
Collectively he's logged 688 hours in space. To put this in perspective I'm providing 2 convenient analogies:
1. If you're still a sucker watching Lost, there have been 121 episodes to date. Without commericals this is roughly 100 hours. Imagine watching the entire series to date, 6 times. Guy has spent this much time in space.
2. The typical work week is 40 hours. While you slaved away an entire summer, 4 months, at work, Guy spent this time in space.
Yep - for all those wasted hours, Guy was one-upping you in space...
