To go into space. I’ve always been fascinated by space travel and I read a lot of science fiction books. I have a crazy imagination. I think I could be quite happy living out there in space amongst the stars. Also, on a purely selfish level, I’d be a little bit taller. No gravity in space helps you regain some of your lost height.
Coincidentally today is the first time a space craft will try to land on a comet. The ESA (European Space Agency) lander system engineer Laurence O’Rourke working on it is an Irish man from Mullingar. It’s pretty cool. There’s going to be a live stream online so we can watch it trying to land.
To end poverty. There is soooo much waste in some parts of the world (including Ireland) where other parts of the world have so little. I have been lucky enough to do a lot of travelling over the last few years, but because of it I’ve seen a lot of extremes in countries that are very rich and ones that are very poor. It’s annoying because there is more then enough to go around for everyone. I read somewhere that if the 100 richest people in the world put there money together they could end extreme world poverty 4 times over!
