Being an Astronaut was definitely the biggest on my list as a kid. I had models, and read everything I could on them, and The Right Stuff is still one of my most favorite pieces of American Propaganda ever made. I gave up on the dream before high school when I realized I just wasn’t that motivated to be the best of the best.
The cool thing is that now I can occasionally pretend to be one just by logging into Twitter. Ain’t technology great?
