In the late '60s, I was seven, eight, nine years old, and what was going on in the news at that time that really excited a seven, eight, nine year old boy was the Space Race.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There weren't any astronauts until I was about 10. Yuri Gagarin went into space right around my 10th birthday.
I was born in 1960, and space theory, especially in the last part of that time and going into the '70s, space was very relevant at that time. It was on television - all the experiments, the moon landings, everything like that.
In 1969 I was 16, and for me anything was possible. '2001: A Space Odyssey' was in theaters. Man's future in space seemed limitless, and here on TV to punctuate it all were men walking on the moon.
Boy George was only 7 years old when I was hot in '68.
I was born in 1969, believe it or not, so I was a child in the '70s.
I was a crazy little seven-year-old. I used to get up an hour early to watch the big kids train. I thought, 'I must absorb their awesomeness.' That was my goal from when I was seven. I told my coach, 'I'm going to the Olympics.'
I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.
I can remember at the age of about six being fascinated by the planets and learning all about Mars and Venus and things.
From the time I was 8 years old I was on almost every radio show there was.
Since the age of 6, I've always wanted to go to space.
