>>>>>>When I was a girl I wanted to be an astronaut.<<<<<
LOL When I was young, there were no astronauts - closest thing was Flash Gordon... Or Jules Verne - ‘From the Earth to the Moon’. Am I dating myself? ‘Watching the radio’ was a real treat back then.
I used to like Flash Gordon. My grandparents introduced me to some old radio. It was a cool thing but I was more into books. I was a Heinlein addict. Back then they called us "bookworms." Later we would have been called nerds or geeks but I loved my books and always figured that "bookworm" moniker was a compliment. Now, I realize it was not meant that way, but I didn't realize it as a kid.
