How do you relate yourself to space travel?

Answer 1

I use my own telescope to see the Moon, planets, and other interesting things myself. I learn all about astronomy and space technology by reading everything I can find in books, magazines and on the Internet. I watch every TV program I can find that has anything to do with space or astronomy. And the first thing I do every time I go outside, day or night, is look up at the sky to see if there is anything interesting there. I have seen several rocket launches in person, including one space shuttle launch. I got a private pilot's license and have flown airplanes in short weightless parabolas, like NASA does only not lasting as long due to the slower speed of private planes. I have built and launched model rockets.

I guess that is about it. So far anyway. Maybe I can take a suborbital flight if the price goes low enough before I die.

Answer 2

I work for NASA 17 years before I retired . I always thought that if there was a chance I would of gone. I just never get excited and always think I can come up with a solution.

Answer 3

Am I not travelling already? Isn't earth/solar system in space already? That's how "relate" it. But as far is going out in other galaxies is concerned, we're far away.

Answer 4

It would be interesting to know what is on the other side.
