      Yes I did but I also wanted to work with rockets somehow so at least one of my dreams came through. Being an astronaut is cool, but so is working with satellites.

      Hi Jeff, I wanted to be a pilot when I was in school, I don’t think it ever occurred to me that I could be an astronaut…

      Oh yes it definitely crossed my mind. I never followed it seriously though as it always seemed like an incredibly difficult job to get.
