She’s a 17 year old kid with a dream.
What in the hell is wrong with that?
How many 3 year olds grasp the vastness of Earth, let alone space?
I compare it to the 3 year olds that self identify as transgender.
There’s nothing wrong with having a dream.
Actualizing this dream will likely spell her doom.
My kid became a space geek when he was five. He told my wife he wanted to work at NASA building rockets.
For his sixth birthday she made him a rocket ship cake.
She made the same cake for his 22nd birthday. The next day he graduated college as an Astronautical Engineer.
Hes not building rockets yet but hes been working at NASA and flies satellites.
Nothing.
But congratulations on being the first Freeper to actually read the article rather then just the headline and knee-jerk.
