“From early childhood I had always dreamed of becoming an explorer. Somehow I had acquired the impression that an explorer was someone who lived in the jungle with natives and lots of wild animals, and I couldn’t imagine anything better than that! Unlike other little boys, most of whom changed their minds about what they want to be several times as they grew older, I never wavered from this ambition.” WantMindLittlesAnimalBoysImagineChildhoodChangedGrewBecomingAmbitionImpressionJungleLittle BoysExplorersWild AnimalEarly Childhood Author:John Goddard

“That was in 1994, July, 1994, and I can remember that like it was yesterday too because it was the culmination of a childhood dream to finally be laying on the launch pad inside a space shuttle and getting ready to be launched into space. The impression of going into a space shuttle is that it looks like a brand new simulator. We spend so many hours inside a simulator that everything is very familiar. Every switch, the seats, the way things work, but the vehicle, the actual spacecraft looks brand new because it hasn't been used nearly as much as the simulators.” DreamRememberHoursChildhoodImpressionFamiliarVehicleChildhood Dreams Author:Leroy Chiao
