I fully understand. My dad was a Air Force pilot.
But imagine the training to be in space hurtling AWAY from earth at 7 miles per second and the space ship is bleeding out power and oxygen. 100% of all airplane and all other types of aircraft return to the ground at some point. The Air Force has never left a single airplane in the sky, the Navy has a lot of ships down below. Apollo 13 was nearly lost to space.
Only a lot of highly trained calm professionals managed to keep them alive.
