Reply to comment by PerformanceNow in Brain changes in fighter pilots may cast light on astronauts during space travel: Study finds that pilots show ley changes in brain connectivity and they may function as suitable test subjects to learn more about space travel. by DreamingForYouAlways
If anything, I think fighter pilots have a more strenuous experience than astronauts. They have to deal with intense fluctuations between high and low Gs, and I imagine that cannot be very healthy for the brain.
Astronauts do experience relatively high Gs during launch, but nowhere near what fighter pilots experience during high maneuverability exercises - and after a brief launch, the rest of their mission is entirely in 0G.

He then descended back down underwater, never to be heard from again.

They're probably kind of annoyed though
