• What was your dream job as a kid? When I was a kid, I had dreamed of being an astronaut. While going into space in a rocket ship had its own appeal, I recall watching the first lunar landing on TV and being left in wonder at the prospect of anyone being able to actually walk on the moon.  Also, I remember watching the return trips of the capsules as they came back down to earth with their parachutes deployed and ‘landing’ in the ocean to be picked up by the US Navy divers.  Just prior to that time, the TV show Lost in Space was my favorite show as it had captured my imagination about space travel.
