Category talk:Astronauts

Now, do you suppose shiplords count as astronauts? The title seems to suggest that their primary responsibility is captaining their ships, which are starships, and which makes them members of the crews of those ships. However, HT usually shows them doing something else. Obviously Charles Healey is an astronaut, and since Henrep is described as his counterpart, he's an astronaut, too. (By the way, I notice that the two of them are next to each other on this list.) Henrep's title was not shiplord, and we saw him doing things that we never saw Kirel or Straha or any of the others do.

We also have Lizards who operate ships' systems, but systems that are used to support ground operations. I'm afraid this might not be quite as clear a distinction as we might have liked. Turtle Fan 02:03, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
