38 hours - about one working week - doing anything other than spacewalking is a laughable amount of experience. Can you think of any other profession where a week's experience is even worth mentioning, let alone in hushed tones?

Fortunately, like aircraft engineers, astronauts gain most of their experience on the ground - or in their case, swimming pools.
