As a kid, what did you want to be when you “grew up”?
I didn't exactly know what I wanted to be, but I knew I wanted to work in the field of space exploration

How far can YOU see? Where do you see the aerospace industry 10–20 years from now?
I see the beginnings of a more permanent foothold for humanity in space; an increasing access to space opening up human activities and scientific exploration, multiple and more-permanent in-space laboratories, increased manufacturing, etc.

One insightful fact you want everyone to know:
The power of a Network: Having your ear to the ground in this industry is a huge help to knowing what’s going on, finding a new job, etc. Don't be shy! Go talk to people.
