Dude, NASA can't even manage to convert miles to km in order to miss a fucking planet..... You'd be fine for cleaning the pipes of the chem spray system!
NASA? Well sure. They'll take anybody. But you're talking about Jewish Space Lasers. That's totally New World Order stuff, their hiring standards are way higher.

Ok, so a few months ago, I bought a round trip ticket, Jackson to Lima in November, about $700.
great!
I want to shorten my time in Peru, and visit my cousin in San José, Costa Rica on the way home, and then fly from there back to JH.
Cheapest price on American, $10,000 (before even changing the Lima/JAC leg)
WITAF?

I have found on several occasions that it is a lot cheaper to buy a whole round trip ticket that you have no plans on using half of than it is to change a flight.

I've always found this a concern, looks like I was right.

Reading Is Fundamental

A South Korean Transport Ministry official said on Friday that it was possible to open emergency exits at or near ground level because the pressure inside and outside the cabin is similar.
