The astronaut who prompted NASA’s first medical evacuation earlier this year said Friday that doctors still don’t know why he suddenly fell sick at the International Space Station.

      My mind isn’t going to change about old people making way for younger people no matter how old i get. I’ve only got a decade and a half til i’m 60 so i’m pretty sure on this fact.

        Same age as you, and the only thing holding me back from stepping out of the way for the younger generation is the fact that bills dont go away when you step aside. But I don’t plan on taking up professional space a single year longer than I need to.

        If you’re coming up on 60 and really passionate about your field, the best thing you can do is shift your focus to advocating for the next generation, making sure they have the skills and opportunities to follow you successfully.

            I wouldn’t say 60 is the end, but being between 45 and 60 I wouldn’t say my perspectives between the two were basically the same, either.

                By that math, 75 is 115%, though

                no, it is not. not even the assumption you tried to support is right, 75 is not 115% of 60.
