I thought i'd give you something to do rather than sit on your ass

[Phantom]

So wait, I retired twice?
So I guess I waltz into the NASA Office one day, saying "THIS PROGRAM IS COMPLETE BULLSH*T!"
And the next day I walk back there and set it on fire basically.

[Deadmeat1471]

I think the procedure is - They announce retirement but dont leave until a future date, then it says when they actually leave.

But anyway. You traitor.

[Phantom]

If you mind, would you like to create my clone, PhantomX1?

[forsaken1111]

If you mind, would you like to create my clone, PhantomX1?

I think the astronauts are set at the beginning.

Oh, so let's entice the remaining Astronauts to retire, eh?
I like those Soviet Cosmonauts anyways.

[Deadmeat1471]

Heh yeah they were set at the beginning, I checked before I started and as far as I know I cant change them once its started ()
