NASA accepts applications for astronauts for the first time in four years engadget.com/2020/03/02/nas… THIS IS MY SHOT
i actually, seriously, wanted to be an astronaut for a long period in my life. not just your childhood fantasy thing, but really wanted to go for it. but i am very bad at math or else i would have further pursued it. my mom was all-in behind me to do it.
ive always said that i would give up everything i own for a single trip in space. i'd do it in a heartbeat to this day.
"mr willis what qualifies you for the us astronaut program"
"well, i have probably gone to the air and space museum more times than any human being. ive watched the movie space camp A LOT and i own a dvd box set of from the earth to the moon"
"you're hired, welcome to nasa"
"when we left earth: the nasa missions" is a great documentary that aired on discovery some time ago. the intro still gives me *chills*
