Private Rocket SpaceShipOne Makes Third Rocket-Powered Flight

Let astronaut and cosmonaut stand for government programs. Make a new word for the people who are paying their own way, whether by building it themselves or buying a ride. I concur. Let's brain storm: (I admit that I prefer the PC incorrect "man" to person etc, etc) * Privateer (arrrr mate-y) * RocketMan * TopNaut * Spaceman * Spacenaut * Person of Space (Politically Correct?) Space Tourist kind of captures things nicely too. MoneyBags would also work. |
