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?

I actually vaguely remember watching a lunar landing as a 8-10 year old kid, but I can't be sure if it was the first landing. In high school I was right on top of the Viking landings, writing to NASA for photos and waiting 2 months to finally get the 8 x 10s. And then there was Pioneer -- remember the little craft before Voyager that kept on going and going and going? Astronomy, Sky & Telescope magazines were the sources back then (I still have a lot of those issues), plus NASA directly and certain companies that released slides of the mission photos (still have those somewhere as well).

We've come a long way, baby!

I'm a 51 year old programmer/analyst living in Litchfield Park, Arizona. My first foray into science and high tech, other than being a space nut in my childhood, was nuclear power training in the Navy where I was schooled in math, physics, thermodynamics, and electronics. I'm also a musician in my lack of spare time and am writing a political novel. I've just received an Associate's Degree and am going on to finish a bachelor's degree with ASU. It'd be very tempting to go for one in planetary geology and get intimately involved with the Mars programs but their westside campus does not offer that major and Tempe is far from my home.

Great divergence of people on here.
