I wanted to be an astronaut. I was fascinated by anything relating to science or more specifically space. I always thought that would be a cool job along with an astronomer as I pointed out in my post today. I didn't make it happen, but I am working in technology which is science, so I feel like I did pretty good!
Yep, you and a lot of others I'd say. Can you imagine what's it's like for those who actually do manage it? It must be an I credible feeling. I'd like to see the planet from space with my own eyes however it's extremely unlikely I will.
I've heard there is a word for the state you enter when you see the Earth from space for the first time. I forget what it is though. Ah, good old Google, I found it!
