I can be an astronaut!
As a kid, I always used to dream about becoming an astronaut. Space always mesmerized me, and that was what got me started into reading science-fiction, with Arthur C. Clarke's classic “2001: A Space Oddessey” But then I got into IIT and engineering and computer science and NASA and space seemed like a distant dream. Well, things are changing now.
On June 21st, 2004 (coincidently, my birthday too!) private aircraf Space Ship One soared into space and history by becoming the first private craft to leave Earth's atmostphere. SpaceShipOne, by Scaled Composites is a contender for the prestigious X-prize foundation, and funded by Microsoft co-founded Paul Allen. The day is not far when private space travel will be commercially feasible, and I will yet have my chance to play astronaut
