How do I get involved?

So, I'm 26. I work a job I like and have been working at since I was 12. ( a family business that's centered around children's entertainment) I always felt like it was what I wanted to do, or was comfortable enough so I never really pursued secondary education beyond one semester at a local community college. I've been toying with the idea of going to school in some form or another since my fall/winters are pretty slow. I've also been thinking about what I'd like to study.

I've always been a huge fan of space, flight, and exploration. I follow NASA pretty regularly and am in awe of all they and the private companies have accomplished this far. I'd love to be a small part of mankind's journey of discovery going forward.

So I married the two thoughts in my head. To me, it seems like an insurmountable task that's started way too late, but I'd like to give it a go.

Long story short, I'm wondering

A) what areas of study should I really put the focus into to get the ball rolling?

B) would I be better off learning a trade and trying to come at the aerospace industry from that angle?

C) should I pick a direction right away (i.e. Robotics, logistics, geology etc etc) or see what areas are in demand in say 2 years when I'd be more in position to select a "major?"

D) Is this a pipe dream that I've lost too much ground on already?

I'm open to all opinions, don't sugar coat it either.

Thanks.
