      Good question Jack,
      I must have been about 6 or 7 I think, but I was already interested by space in general. At the time I did not realise all the jobs that exist in the field, from the scientists who are keen to trying to understand things, to the engineer that try to make it happen, there is something for everyone…

      Tom: Well, I landed on the Moon with my Lego space shuttle (which in reality never would work of course)…;-) I drifted away from that dream, but after my (physics) studies I by chance got a Job in space operations – and participated in a “real” shuttle Mission – VERY COOL!! 😉

      I was 15 when I got my first telescope and my mind was just blown by what I could see. Haven’t looked back since 🙂
