    On a similar note, I think Kelly would attract a decent chunk of votes solely because of ‘SPACE MAN!!’.

    All other things being equal, “SPACE MAN!!” is a good enough reason for me to vote for someone. Seeing our planet from orbit is widely regarded as a humbling experience, and that’s the sort of attitude I’d like in a an elected official.

    Then again, all other things aren’t equal so it doesn’t really enter into it right now.

      Yep. Based on my unprofessional but very interested hobby perspective: I would vote for most astronauts, and if I were in a fast choice scenario (I don’t know why that would be a thing), I would select an astronaut over probably 95% of other backgrounds, without hearing anything else.
