Less Heralded
Astronauts certainly aren't status seekers, at least in the pop culture sense. They're more likely to be found on a PBS show discussing space's effect on photosynthesis rather than showcasing their new Humvee on MTV's "Cribs."
For that matter, an astronaut's salary would hardly justify such a decadent possession. The pay scale for this occupation is between $56,257 and $86,974, according to NASA's Website. Considering the vast, comprehensive educational requirements of candidates, the private sector is far, far more attractive in terms of compensation. But it's a safe guess to say that money is not a motivating factor for these folks.
