It's the reverse of what is more likely to happen: kids wanting to be an astronaut when they grow up, but then achieving nothing, which is way more likely than this: kid wants to achieve nothing, yet becomes an astronaut, a profession which only very select individuals can reach with less of effort. Having failed at his dream of not achieving anything, the astronaut is sad.
