NASA Launches Educational Website

Rob writes to tell us Computer Business Review magazine is reporting that NASA has launched a new educational site targeting children in kindergarten through fourth grade. From the article: "The website aims to appeal to both parents and educators wishing to help develop children's knowledge in subjects such as science, technology and mathematics. [...] 'Our goal with the Kids' Club is to provide a medium that encourages children's interest in exploring the subjects important to developing early skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics,' said Angela Phillips Diaz, NASA's acting assistant administrator for education."

ah, to be young again

1986 was a fateful year for me. I was a 6 year old living in the Chicago suburbs, giving serious thought to the whole "what do you want to be when you grow up?" paradigm.

I wanted to work for NASA, that is until...well, I'm not going to make fun. You know.

After that tragedy, I figured I would go play 2nd base for the Cubs. Then we lost to the Mets. THE METS!

Looking back, is it any wonder I ended up a hacker?

P.S. What *DO* I want to be when I grow up? Maybe a fireman...
