ION, looks like Pluto will be demoted:
But, but, but.... Pluto's my favorite planet. Now it will be my, what? Favorite oversized snowball?
I would be there right now.

That is so wrong, that I don't even care whether it's right. It's one of the things I'll be muttering about when I get old(er) and cranky(er).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

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.
"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..."

"Well bloody hell. Nils? What do I do after I collect the magn..."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
These days, not all astronauts are military/ex-military.
No, but that was one of the assumptions Allyson, question-asker, made. So I'm going with it. She even went IDF.
Are all astronauts scientists? Even so, my mother's a scientist, and while I'd root for her versus a caveman, it'd not be science that won that fight. It would be that even though she doesn't know why I do krav, it's her I get those urges from.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Heh, for some reason, Sean's dialogue post has me imagining the caveman and astronaut exchanging a jovial "Morning Sam."/"Morning Ralph.", punching time cards, and then proceeding to beat the snot out of each other.
...aaaand now I'm wondering if there's sheepdog/coyote slash. My mind is a scary, scary place.
