Absolutely! I remember my dad getting me out of bed so I could watch Apollo 11 land on the moon. I had a book titled "You Will Go To The Moon" which explained how going to the moon would be a routine trip in the near future, even for kids. I was going to pilot that ship! Didn't make it, but I do teach science and am an avid amateur astronomer. But! One of my students from my very first year of teaching got really excited by my love of astronomy and space exploration and later decided to study Aerospace Engineering in college as a result. She later got a job at JPL and worked on both Curiosity and Perseverance. So I might not do the space thing professionally, but I inspired someone else to do that, and that makes me really, really proud.

Delicate Stranger posted:My parents may still have the illustration I made in Kindergarten, when I wanted to be a lawyer for NASA. A rocket lawyer, if you will. I still have the rocket drawing I did in Kindergarten. That was in 1967. It was part of the book we all drew in class. Looking back, it was a pretty amateurish attempt at a rocket.
