<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Skelton, post: 3611652, member: 92092&quot;]I was 17 when all this was happening.&nbsp; And all of it takes me back to going to elementary school with a transistor radio earpiece listing to the Mercury program start the race to space.&nbsp; I also remember when the paper used to list the schedule of the Echo satellite passing overhead so I could go out at night, laying the grass, and watch it spin overhead.&nbsp; That&#039;s when I dreamed of becoming an astronaut.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I grew up and realized that my stumbling block was math.&nbsp; So I decided to become a computer repairman, because, hey, they would need computers on the moon, which is where I wanted to be.&nbsp; But when I took electrical engineering in college, I learned that wasn&#039;t right for me, either.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the closest I ever got to space flight was joining the local model rocket club![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
