*thumbs up* Good job.

Thanks! Any grammar issues? Plotwise, I'm sure it's kind of rambling and meandering, because I pretty much just put everything I've loved about space into it, but I'd like it to at least read well, and you have a good eye for it.

Nothing jumped out at me :)

I liked the structure - people don't always have deep revelations about their lives in nice plot points.

(When my eldest was little, he was space-mad. Someone gave him a soft toy space shuttle for his fourth birthday. He looked at it and then said, "There's no re-entry tiles on the wings, and all the astronauts are going to die.")

Holy cow, that is one precocious kid! Is he going to grow up to be an astrophysicist? aerospace engineer? :)

He says he'd like to be an aircraft designer.

He's hard work, but pretty awesome.
