Me: absolutely not, no. I get travel sick, have anxiety issues about even mundane modes of transport, and my farts would strain whatever NASA’s space age flatulence solution is.
(This thread inspired by reading a book that has astronauts in it)
Not at all, similar reasons to you also I’m extremely bad at maths/physics etc

Mate, they’ve sent chimps up. Actual chimps. I don’t want to get too mushy here, but I reckon you’re at least 80% as qualified as an average chimp.
I really mean that, too.

Good eyesight and never travel sick, but incredibly lazy and likely to lose interest in doing anything once I’m up there so I reckon maybe a capable one, but not a good one.

Here’s a question: If astronaut is the USA certified term, and cosmonaut is the USSR certified term. What’s the generic term or terms for other countries?

Not enough countries to need a generic term really. Chinese are taikonauts, everyone else just uses the name of whoever owned the rocket they went up in, maybe.
