To be an astronaut you need to have a well defined jaw line.

High physical fitness is a requirement and that helps with the jaw line

To be an astronaut, you also need solid steel balls... and whatever the female equivilant would be to that statement.

What's the galvanic corrosion rate between steel and titanium? Is this why they don't want astronauts to fuck?

I don’t have one and would absolutely not be capable of fixing a toilet in space

Well it all goes away with the fluid shifts that happen in microgravity. Could you imagine the flabby chins that would occur with someone with a weak jaw line. I think its a self evident requirement.

If you're physically fit but have a weak jaw and/or chin, your jaw line would probably still be well defined.

Especially when you get an excellent photographer who knows how to set up the lighting.
