Transcript:
Red: Dad, when you were a boy, did you ever want to be an astronaut? Charlie: Sure! Only we didn't call them astronauts back then. We called them space travelers! Like, Buck Rogers. G'night, sport! Red: Buck Rogers?? Never heard of him. He must've been one of the guys who went out for "Project Mercury" And wasn't chosen. That or a test pilot.
Astronauts means ‘sailors of the stars.’
