The physicists in my labs don't have military training, but they can build a railgun. Of course, the cavemen will have slaughtered them before they gathered the necessary materials for this.
I think the reasoning behind using astronaut and not modern human is the idea that the astronaut is a scientist and can employ logic in a way the caveman has not yet developed. I'm just adding military training because it's an assumption I have that astronauts are pilots, and they are often plucked from the military. It may have also been stuck in my head that El Al employs fighter pilots, who also have military combat experience.
But I'm unsure if I'm the Official Rulemaker.

Heh. I mean, sorry. I mean, it's not my fault Pluto's so small....

"Oh dear, Nils. What the hell is that?"
"It appears, Albert, to be a caveman with a pointed stick, coming to kill us."
"Oh dear! Whatever shall we do?"
"Well, we could build a railgun. First, we'll need to lay out a very straight, non-ferrous track. Then we'll need to collect up a large number of magnets, to be fired in sequence in order to propel the..."

Too late, I win!
Damn! I really have to stop losing all my money that way.
