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 a 36 year old dutch physical geographer (that also studied aeronautical designing), and find witnessing actual landings of hardware (and the science it produces) on other planetary surfaces one of the most fascinating aspects of my life, besides the existence of my wife and 2 year old twin girls...
Obsession ? No, it just IS great ! |

I'm 36, a software engineer in industrial robotics. I'm also an amateur astronomer and space nut, so the MER missions are right up my ally!
One other thing I do is coach a FIRST LEGO League team at our local elementary school - FLL is an organization that has yearly challenges involving LEGO Mindstorms Robotic Invention Systems for kids aged 9-11. Our team did not compete this year, but we did play around with the 2003 challenge called "Mission to Mars". One of the missions in that challenge involved building and programming the LEGO robot to clear "dust" in the form of small LEGOs from a model of a solar panel. When Spirit had its panels scrubbed by wind last month, it gave the kids a clear example of how important and applicable the problem solving they're doing can be. Now if only we can get the funding to launch one of our LEGO robots... -------------------- --O'Dave
