What’s your childhood dream? – Blog Project Day 21

To be an astronaut.

Like many other kids, when I was young I was drawn to space exploration. I was very young when the Challenger incident happened, but it was still a topic when I was in elementary school. I think the fact that one of the astronauts was a teacher made me think that truly anyone could do it. I wanted to go to the moon(Mars wasn’t in the picture then) and walk in places no one else had been. The views from space always seemed to peaceful and serene, while still be vast and breathtaking. I wanted to know what that adventure was truly like.

My spacey aspirations didn’t last much out of grade school, but I still wonder what being an astronaut would have been like.
