A Brief Pause From The Ordinary..., Demographics time--please just humor me Options

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?

hey there! another Dutch guy here. I'm 23 at the moment, did an MSc in aerospace engineering and now living in the UK to look at Titan with data from CIRS (and enjoying every bit of it!)

I always had a large interest in planetary space exploration, but unfortunately, there's no planetary science opportunities in Holland (except maybe ESA ESTEC in Noordwijk, but since the Dutch government only contributes a tiny amount to ESA's budget... sigh). Anyway, there was no planetary science education, so I did the next best thing, aerospace engineering (I don't like stars and clusters, etc that much). Turned out to be a little disappointing, expecially the first 3 years, since it was mostly aeronautics, and I don't really care a lot about airplanes...But I'm glad I did it (although I wouldn't have minded some more 'real' science) and I'm glad I'm doing what I am doing now.

That's my life story so far

Nice meeting you all !
