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 55-ish, geologist/hydrologist for the past 30-or-so years. I was a space-nut even back in the 50's. In my late teens I wanted to be an astronomer. By college (late 60's) I decided that I favored planetary "astronomy" most and went into geology with the intention of climbing the degree ladder. The economy tanked in the mid-70's and I got into geotechnical grunt jobs to pay bills instead of grad school. In the early 80's I started a career in environmental assessments and mitigation of the impacts of coal mining and reclamation in the southeast USofA, where I have worked for 25-or-so years.
I still like planetary geology, but have less of the Buck Rogers fervor that I had in the early years. --Bill -------------------- |
