For those of you that are not baby-boomers this one takes some splaining. We grew up during the space race with the ruskies and it was not uncommon during the Mercury missions and beyond to have one of your teachers wheel in a boob tube and tune it into one of the three major TV networks of the time to watch the continuous coverage.
One of my teachers noticed, my eyes were glued to the screen, hardly blinking. So yeah, I wanted to be a spaceman. The images in this clip were images that we grew up with. The political race that framed the space race was hidden from public view until much later so many of us had to settle on becoming engineers and computer geeks.
So it is with Star Citizen, at last I can be a spaceman that does more than just go around and around and around…
