Both Farscape and Angel say that the cavemen win. That's got to be worth something.
Now that's a scenario where I think you're making the distinct advantages of caveman v. astronaut clear.
I also don't see how astronaut = expert weapons builder. If you put an astronaut and a caveman each in a falling-apart spacecraft, the astronaut's more likely to come back alive (by the simple fact that the caveman is unlikely to know how to read or use duct tape), but that's a different kind of expertise than building a rocket launcher from scratch. Your scenario is essentially Caveman Vs MacGuyver.
Doesn't take a Hummer. Just a Toro.
Or a woodchipper. Or a chainsaw.
Houston, we have a chainsaw massacre.
Even a Yugo would get the job done.
Thanks sumi, but it's just me. -Someone- forgot to log out the last time she used it, and so I accidentally posted my news under her name before fixing it...

Crichton was an astronaut! And the astronaut won!
Liquids on a Plane is great. Thanks, flea.
CaBil, go you! Following your bliss and all. Good luck and writing~ma!
we are soooo showing up on insane-o site of the day.

Fury already put his $0.02 in.
Your scenario is essentially Caveman Vs MacGuyver.
See, here's the real question -- does the astronaut get a space suit, or a space ship, or anything to really make him an astronaut (beyond just a job description, and a vague one at that)? Does the caveman get a club, or a rock, or a pointed stick?
I suppose this has been asked and answered, and I'm a bad skimmer. I plead distractedness.
(Edited because I have no idea what an anstronaut is.)
