WHO/WHAT AM I

[looker-on]

Astronaut? "I'm not complete till I've been to the Moon", for instance: something said then ever regretted.

Yes, an astronaut. But his views are the opposite.

 

[Richie]

Yuri Gugarin?

John Glenn?

Yuri Gugarin?

John Glenn?

Gagarin was a Soviet cosmonaut.

What would make John Glenn incomplete in any way?

 

[looker-on]

Hint: The man I'm having in mind was so special in several ways that he was not just honoured with many awards but his exceptional experiences were put into art by various artists.

Yes, it's about a US astronaut as I said very early and has nothing to do with Soviet cosmonauts.

 

[Richie]

cosmonauts.

That is an astronaut, just that the Ruskies used a different name to further themselves from the Yanks during the Cold War.

 

[Richie]

Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. Incomplete because he was not the first to walk on the moon. Didn't he stand aside to allow Armstrong the honor?

Very hot but not quite correct. Not Aldrin.

But I had said the nationality was US not SU.

Then it has to be Michael Collins who stayed on Apollo

Correct.

 

[Richie]

Correct.

Finally. Didnt Vince first mention an astronaut, yet he made no further guesses.

Yes, he did but that was only part of the answer.

 

[Richie]

That was a good'n Thomas.

Another of those unusual professions.

 

[looker-on]

Done by both men and women? Who is it mostly done by?
What qualifications are needed?
Since when has the job been done?
Is the job in high demand?

Does it have to do with

• the human body
• nature?

How can you learn the skills best?
What skills are needed?
Why wasn't the job needed before the end of the last cent.?

 

[Richie]

Does it have to do with

• the human body

Yes.
No technical skill needed.

Why wasn't the job needed before the end of the last cent.?

That was an educated guess as it has to do with modern fashion.
