I just joined this community last night, and I'm just curious about some of the people here. I'm only 19 years old, but I'm more interested in all things space than anyone I've ever met. Just out of curiosity, what are people's ages in this forum?

Ahh.. hi! I'm new, and figured this would be as good a place as any to make my first post. Unlike other people who mentioned registering recently, I haven't been lurking, I just found out about this forum's existance approximately an hour ago. Just reading around and seeing the passion for unmanned spaceflight that I have seen almost nowhere else... I couldn't resist signing up. It just looks like so much fun here!
I'm an 18-year-old high school student (for six more days until graduation, anyway.) I've been interested in planetary astronomy since the age of four when I found a book about the solar system in a box somewhere... couldn't even read it, and I loved it. Sadly, being born in 1987, I don't even remember the Neptune encounter of Voyager. Probably my earliest memories of any sort of spaceflight was something with Hubble.. not sure, really. But I've been glued to my internet connection for the entire duration of MER, and all of the last few years of Cassini. Any knowledge of astronomy I have is self-taught, but I like to believe I have a rather good and detailed understanding of most of the topic (at the very least, much more than the majority of people ). I probably have a dozen notebooks lying around with some form of information in them, including constantly updated lists of all the vital stats for the moons. Okay, I should probably stop babbling (as I have a tendency to do). So, uh.. hello. |
