I sure as hell want to be an astronaut when I'm older, and here's why...

I really want to help people one day, and have a career that involves practical science. But all in all, wether it's greedy or merely human, I want my name immortlized in future history holo-books.

And I think I know how to become famous.

One word. Frontier.

The Frontier of the Renaissance was radical changes in culture and science, so we remember the painters and scientists like Da Vinci and Michaelangelo. The Frontier of the Reformation was great religious change, so we remember the religious reformers like John Calvin and Martin Luther. The Frontier of the Age of Exploration was overseas exploration so we remember explorers like Pizarro and da Gama. The Frontier of the Wild West was the Wild West and its dangerous terrain, so we remember the cowboys nd crooks like Amanda Blake and Bill Williams. The Frontier of World War 2 was the war and its politics, so we remember leaders and soldiers like Hirohito and Jack Churchill (this guy here >> http://ift.tt/15tRcrY).

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are in the Space Age, and will be for a long time. Buzz Aldrin. Niell Arsmstrong. Tim Peake wil probably go down in history. So, there's already a lot of people who's names will stay in the minds and hearts of future generations as they too tread into the starry veil above.

Wanna be famous forever more? Now's a good time to be an astronaut, people.

P.S. I'm aware that you can't just BE an astronaut. I myself have type 1 diabetes, and at the moment that could stop me from going into space, but hey, maybe they'll stick an insulin injection system into my suit, and stcik a refrigerator on the ISS. Space technology has plenty of time to advance until I'm old enough. Enough about me though, some people may not have the physical requirements, but you can always do something on earth. Anyway, I sacrifice these thoughts to you, redditites/-ians/-goers.
