Doctor, please.
My apologies, Doctor Westerly. As I was saying, thank you for joining us today, I trust your suborbital trip was pleasant?
Yes, as much as it can be. Im not overly fond of suborbital shuttles. The turbulence.
Interviewer laughs. Ive heard that youre not a fan of travel, excluding space travel of course, of which you are one of the Earths most celebrated astronauts.
Well, I would hesitate to call myself celebrated. I am certainly recognized as an astronaut, though it was not my first choice of profession.

No, my chosen profession, or at least the one I studied for was computational engineering. My PhD is in Binarial Structure Mathematics and Architecture.
