Love the image of us being test pilots! I think I am one at least somewhere in another timeline. And in another I am a Pancho Barnes character shooting off friendly insults with test pilots!
Great piece. I've just finished the book 'Moonshot' by Mike Massimino about his experiences as a NASA astronaut, and many of the internal battles you describe are echoed in that.

“Fear and greed, handmaidens of distraction…” I love it!
