These idiots really aren’t thinking through the repercussions of denying aid to a population that’s greater than almost every one of their states. What happens when pissed off Angelinos with nothing to loose start driving out to Ohio with a few gas cans and road flares?

The definition of an astronaut:

“The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) Sporting Code for astronautics recognizes only flights that exceed the Kármán line, at an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 mi). In the United States, professional, military, and commercial astronauts who travel above an altitude of 80 kilometres (50 mi) are awarded astronaut wings.”

So yes, that does make him an astronaut.
