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?

As I hang my head in shame, I'll reveal my place of employment, and job.
Overnight stocker at Walmart. There, I said it. I do hope to get back to college this year for engineering, probably mechanical or industrial. I hope it's the right line of work; I've always been good at fixing things I know nothing about. And then there's my Scanner PC project. I don't know if that shows skill or a mental illness, but there it is. I already did 2 years at a community college, for Cisco networking. It turned out to be programming though, just on routers. I can't stand programming. That, and I'm like Michael in Office Space, for those who have seen it. Always missing some mundane detail - and when you're working on securing a network, that's not a good thing. ![]() Oh yeah, I'm 23. |

It's honest work. What else can you ask of someone? I'm 49, going on 16... I'm a career technical writer / documentation specialist / training developer / what-have-you, and since a) the bursting of the dot-com bubble and ![]() For now. As I said, there's never any shame in doing honest work. My first memories include astronauts, Mercury capsules and Sputnik satellites. I recall watching Ranger IX coverage on live TV -- for the *very first time*, you could watch on your TV as live pictures from the Moon flashed by. I was hooked. 1969 was my favorite year. Of my entire life. Not just because of Apollo, but also because of Mariners 6 and 7. I want to see new horizons, new vistas. I want to see what's beyond every horizon -- and I want to see all of the different horizons that are out there. I guess I'm just a sense-of-wonder junkie... ![]() -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
