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 suppose I ought to add my bit. I'm 53, grew up in England, and I think the oldest space event I recall was John Glenn's Mercury flight. I sat up all night watching live coverage of Apollo 11's EVA (after midnight in the UK). Now I teach cartography and some planetary science at a Canadian university. I've worked on asteroid shape modelling and mapping (data in PDS small bodies node), on locating the VL2 site on Mars, some historical work on lunar studies, and now I'm compiling an atlas of lunar exploration which has taken me to Moscow as well as Houston, Flagstaff and Tucson.
If you are near LPI in Houston, LPL in Tucson or USGS in Flagstaff (as some of you are...) you can see large format prints of my Surveyor pans in the respective data libraries/RPIFs. Flagstaff has the digital data and we will eventually get it out for everybody... but don't hold your breath. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
