(Before continuing below, please note that, YES, this is REAL, and NO, this is NOT made up).
The greatest human being of the 20th century.
Apart from being a six-time space shuttle voyager (the only one...ever), and flying 17,700 hours in 160 different types of military and civilian aircraft, of which 7,500 hours were jets, he's also a decorated marine who served in Korea, Japan, and Hawaii and later as an instrument technician, an aviation electrician, and an aircraft crew chief. Being an accomplished parachutist, he's also made more than 800 free-falls (over 100 which were purely experimental).
On top of this, Story Musgrave was also a mathematician, a chemist, an artist, who had an MBA in operations analysis and computer programming, an MFA in literature, and was also a heart surgeon and National Heart Institute Fellow. He was also a a professor of physiology and biophysics who authored twenty five scientific papers in the areas of aerospace medicine and physiology, temperature regulation, exercise physiology, and clinical surgery. Oh, and by the way, he also designed over 300 tools for the Hubble Telescope, AND the space suit that astronauts use for space walks.
In his spare time he is a public speaker, a landscape architect, and a consultant to both Disney's Imagineering group and Applied Minds in California. I would have included all of his life's accomplishments but it would have taken me many centuries to document, so here's just a small glimpse.

I can't believe that when you ask young people who they look up to these days, they throw out names like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus instead of Story freakin' Musgrave.
It's disgusting how more people care about a celebrity's sexuality, than Story Musgrave's opinion on the castration of the space program.

Get the Mugrage mug.by Johnny DeWadd Watkins July 28, 2006
Get the Mungalicious mug.The mungtrain is required for mass acts of munging and must be driven by a mungtrain driver, also known as a mungmaster. A mungtrain does not require rails as a conventional train would. Instead, the mungtrain travels wherever it is guided by its mungtrain driver for savage and disgusting mass munging.
The mungtrain often causes corpses to explode in a violent and horrendous manor which many people would find unwatchable. It is however, impossible to avoid the mungtrain.

Get the mungtrain mug.A common phenomenon one experiences during the first couple of days (or in some cases, months) after attending a Model United Nations (MUN) conference. Somewhat like what an addict goes through during withdrawl.
Leah: Do you remember that one time at NAIMUN (North Atlantic Invitational Model United States) when we were at the Delegate Dance and you looked like a complete psycho?
Clare: Holy shit, yes... but don't talk about NAIMUN I'll relapse into serious MUNdrawl.

Get the mungral mug.A needy, attention-seeking man who focuses on and worries about himself, particularly his own health and medical issues, which he will discuss ad nauseam with anyone who will listen. He will undoubtedly include TMI in his Facebook status updates on a regular basis.
Jane: Are you going out with Mark tonight?
Tori: No, I discovered he's a huge mangranny!!! Last night he freaked out just because his heart rate increased when he walked up a flight of stairs.
