Uh I would it say it depends on some factors like if there is a tiger chasing me. Honestly it was a joke I in no way begrudge the guy his job. I am sure there is a lot of training he has that I do not just as I am sure that he was tested and found to measure up. Aside from that in space your near weightless. Even further aside from that if we as a race make it as a space faring people we will need to have experience dealing with the challenges he will face. Long voyages may result in people injured and knowing how to help the people who may become paraplegic on a long voyage will be priceless. Also unless I'm mistaken isn't the 100 meter dash record something like 10 seconds? Anyway I'm rambling sorry if I ruffled any feathers it was sarcasm. Also if the joke is that half of the paraplegic would outrun me what on earth makes you think I'd stand a chance against Olympic level athletes?

Yeah, yeah I quit a job where I was in the water for 2 to 6 hours a day.... lotta swimming i don't anymore but i kept eating at the same rate

Does this mean I have a shot now? I'm not disabled just out of shape but i can run faster than at least half of the paraplegics i promise! /s well mostly i am out of shape
