Comment on ambition
MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 weeks agoI’m missing a lot of these things, but I’ve decided that my logical next step is to bootstrap Spain’s and Mexico’s space programs. (This is sarcasm. I have a snowballs chance in hell of going to space, and I’m okay with that.)

Spain is part of the ESA. If you have citizenship there, there’s a nearly-zero (but not actually zero) possibility of getting into their astronaut selection class. But more likely SpaceX starts taking passengers and the whole question is moot.
I decided that my own path was also unlikely, but I chose a field of study that would take me to some pretty fun places on Earth. Can’t explore Mars, so might as well do the high arctic, the Atacama desert, etc. :)
