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 28, and I've always been interested in the exploration of space, anything interesting, really. Space is nice because it is vast, infinite maybe, and so anything you can imagine probably exists, or did exist, or will exist, and amazingly enough, we can even fly up there and take a look for ourselves.
I got my B.S. in software engineering technology (designing and implementing software, basically), but I lost interest in that pretty quickly. Writing business apps so someone else can maximize their profit margin is not for me. And I have a sneaking suspicion that we'll run out of software to write, anyway. I've moved on to fiction, turning my creativity to something a bit more human than an endless string of 1s and 0s, and I have a feeling my novel will soon be published, though I suppose it's technically feasible that there might possibly be some miniscule chance that I may be wrong, perhaps. It's interesting to see the wide cross-section of people who peruse the boards.. oh yeah, and I vaguely remember seeing pictures from Voyager, I think, in National Geographic, but as far as remembering the actual events I only really remember Challenger. I had actually forgotten completely about Pathfinder until the MERs started getting coverage and the media brought it up. I doubt I'll forget about the MERs, though. |
