Why he might be annoying:

    He wanted to be a Formula One race car driver as a kid.
    He admitted to being an acrophobic, or to having a 'mild fear of heights' (which he says goes away completely once he reaches 250 miles above the Earth).
    He took a soft toy of the comic character Mole (Communism's answer to Mickey Mouse) with him on his second mission to space.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a member of the astronaut band Max Q.
    He got his degree from a community college.
    Before becoming an astronaut he worked as a mechanic restoring 1950s Jaguars.
    His first mission was to successfully repair the Hubble Space Telescope.
    As an aquanaut aboard the Aquarius underwater laboratory, in 2006, he lived and worked underwater for seven days.
    He and his family flew to the Czech Republic to present the 'Mole' creator and animator, Zdenek Miler, with the toy he brought into space (Miler would die only four months later).
    On his third mission, he paid homage to deceased Columbia astronaut, Ilan Ramon, by bringing a copy of child Holocaust victim Petr Ginz's artistic rendering of the Moon into space (Ramon and the copy had both perished on the original mission). This was also done as a tribute for Holocaust Remembrance Day.
