No i mean astronauts tend to be 'right stuff' test pilot types, even today.

But rocket scientists have historically all been into the weirdest esoteric shit. Maybe correlation with handling all thatvrecursive math, idk. The nazi set were like allin the thule society, the american JPL guys were all doijg weird wizard shit out in the mojave-jack parsons, in one of the many sex cults he partook of, actually got cucked by (and managed to be weirder than) L ron hubbard. The soviet rocket scientists were all cosmists, and if you dont know what that is, look it up, it's genuinely cool.

This has at least historically been a real thing. Though today as far as i know it's just a milder version of sysadmins; more trans women and furries than you'd expect.
