I'm pretty sure East vs West was more just an expansion of Socrates vs Confucius since Peter said they were having trouble finding good material for just that battle alone. They've done a lot of eastern person vs western person battles already, so they've done a lot of "east coast vs west coast" battles, such as Superman vs Goku, Bruce Lee vs Clint Eastwood, Hulk Hogan vs Kim Jong-Il, etc. Astronauts vs Astronomers is the same as Philosophers vs Philosophers as it expands from one suggestion into more, Galileo vs Neil Armstrong for the former, Socrates vs Confucius for the latter. And it makes sense for Astronauts vs Astronomers, as Peter said before that Armstrong was hard to diss, plus "people who studied space vs people who traveled to it" is a good match-up, not to mention that Apollo 11 as a team works great, and there aren't a lot of astronomers that could be used in the battle that would work well enough on their own.
