How are genealogists similar to astronauts?

1.  We are tied/tethered to our ancestors and TO OUR COMPUTERS! 

We are dependent on others for providing guidance, information, feedback, and keeping us grounded!

Genealogists are often, like the astronauts, explorers and trail blazers, treading where others fear to go.
