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?

Enjoying going thru all these bio's the least I can do is add my own..
'Alo 'alo, I'll say this only once to quote a famous European: I'm also 53 yrs, and in very good company here by the looks of it. I work in plants were we liquefy natural gas, and since these plants are typically far away from its customers (population centres & good infrastructure) I had to make do with initially Compuserve text-based space message boards over patchy telephone lines with V24 modems if memory serves me right. My origin lies in Holland, and I am subscribing to the Dutch magazine Zenith and the French Ciel et Espace. I have been pestering them for information about what is going on behind the "Kremlin Walls" of ESA - no offence to Russian members here- and I'll keep at it as much as I can. If I land a scoop then this community will be the first to know - promise. I chose my screen name as a throwback to the days I was in a university rowing club and I'll try to add a related logo shortly. To end: when I followed the launch of the Messenger probe I realised it was going to enter Mercurius orbit exactly on my planned retirement day. That set me back for a few seconds, but space science & new discoveries goes day-by-day and that's the beauty of it! Cheers, Peter |
