It wasn't meant to play off each other but even Peyton basically said "ya I got nothin'" after listening in awe to the astronaut. You just simply can not top an astronaut for wow factor. And working at NASA would be amazing at just about any level just for the richness of history and future goals of an institution. Most places your lucky if the business goal is to 'increase profits by x'- actually being able to have some amazing answer would be worth a lot.
I mean its crazy when he posts...the guy said he has to go away for work for a while..we ask him where he is going..and the dude says "space" how do you top that?
