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?

I'm 46 and work for the UK Health Service as an Information Analyst, I have a wife and two girls. I live in a small village Holcombe Brook, just north of Manchester England, I got inspired by a book the Observers Book of Manned Spacecraft, this was bought for me by my parents when I was about 7 (1966), I remember seeing the moon landings on TV, I also remember vividly coming home from school on a lunch-time and seeing the Apollo 17 Astronauts walking about on the moon. I was hooked, in those day there was virtually no 'news' on space, I joined an obscure group called The British Interplanetary Society and got good coverage through their monthly publication called 'Spaceflight' - I've followed all the missions since then, obvious highlights being the Viking Landings (which I remember the live coverage of Viking 1 landing) and the Voyagers. It's just great to be able to actually participate in these missions now that Doug has launched unmannedspaceflight.com
I visit USA on a regular basis for vacations, I've seen two Shuttle Launches (one night launch which I guess will never occur again), I've also visited Smithsonian, KSC on a number of occasions, JPL, Vandenber AFB, Edwards AFB and Redstone Arsenal at Huntsville. I play golf (badly) and am into mountain and road biking as well as Go-Karts |
