Not me, but one of my best friends founded a company to clean up murder scenes, houses in which someone has died and their corpse rotted away for weeks, accident scenes... that sort of thing. His stomach seems perfectly unaffected by gruesomeness of all kinds, so he figured he'd market that particular ability of his.
His lowest rate is $300 / hr for "simple" cleanups and he's doing very, very well.
Does he wear a hazmat suit or something similar?
Yeah he wears heavy biohazard protection, complete with the hood and the respirator and everything. He's better isolated than a cosmonaut on the job.
Found the Russian. Do any other cultures use that word instead of astronaut?
Maybe any USSR countries are, just a guess.
Find something better to do.
Taikonauts are Chinese. All three words, Cosmo, Astro, Taiko - naut describe the same job; it just depends what agency certified you as to what you get called.
Probably all eastern block states. I know its true for example for East Germany.
Or maybe it's about relative protection of cosmonaut suits vs astronaut suits, like they thought, "well maybe not quite as well as an astronaut, but better than a cosmonaut"
On a somewhat related note, Crime Scene Cleaner is such an oddly relaxing, thought a bit gruesome, game.
There's a great German TV show from a few years back about a crime scene cleaner "Tatortreiniger". It's more philosophical/funny than gruesome and worth a watch if you don't mind reading sub-titles. The BBC did an adaptation in English, but I've not watched it yet.
