he wouldn't want to be an astronaut and therefore he can't imagine anyone else wanting to be an astronaut. But he says it like it is some horrible profession. It's a horrible ad lib during the speech. Maybe the teleprompter stopped?

I hope a transcript becomes available.

They would have to bring back the Saturn V in order to lift that mass into orbit.

Usually at speeches/rallies he is very high...energy, at other times he slouches, head down, shuffling his feet as he slowly moves.
That's why I think he is on prescribed drugs. Any organic illness would show the same basic symptoms all the time.

We don’t need no stinkin’ astronauts.

Maybe they are going to do every thing with drones?

Does anyone know what kinds of medical problems can make it hard to fully open an eye?
