But when I found out how much math it took in order to become an astronaut, I changed my goal to mediocre Uber driver. My mother is medium proud.

Astronauts typically experience 3 G's of force upon lift off. These days you can experience the same thing with a roller coaster, a motorcycle, or even more in a car crash.

When I was a kid, my dream was to be an astronaut. Outer Space was cool but what I was really looking forward to was the thrill ride on the way out.
