Anyways, I've always had an interest in aviation; and space for a long time. When I got Gran Turismo 3 (2003), I gained a little interest in cars, but never that much. They all involve mechanical objects (the "mechanical objects" part I stole from Michael Collins).
My interest in space came... a long while ago. I knew many astrological (and some spaceflight) facts that nobody knew when I was very young, at least for my age group. I was able to recite the order of the planets at a few years of age, including Pluto. At about 13-years-old, I read many of Arthur C. Clarke's books, which may have increased my interest, and lost some interest in aviation. An interest in aviation is too common for me, I guess, and destructive (in war-time).
I'm more interested in the high-speed, high-altitude, experimental, and so on, parts of aviation (X-1, X-15, X-29, XB-70, SR-71, U-2, etc.), which often involves NASA. Space exploration is usually a peaceful advance of knowledge, an advance without violence. Peaceful advances are more wonderful than any other type of advance, at least I think. Damn, I'm a pacifist.
But majoring in aerospace engineering is difficult, and I'm running out of time to decide.
