Fifty years ago today NASA announced its selection of seven military pilots to become the first U.S. astronauts - the Mercury Seven.

The requirements? All had to be test pilots, have college degrees, could be no taller than 5' 11" and weigh no more than 180 pounds.

Yep, I have exactly one of the four qualifications.

Bet you didn't know I was a test pilot in the late 1990s ...
