my son wants to go to the naval academy and become a pilot, and then go to nasa from there to be an astronaut. he said the other day 'hey, maybe i could be the first guy on mars'. i told him to go for it.
sounds like a good career path, but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were him about mars. that ain't going to happen any time soon if at all.
