As a kid, i've ever had this dream becoming an astronaut. 

My curiosity about live outside earth growing since that time, and out of nowhere my dad also taught me how to remember these planet fast by acronym MeVeBuMaUSauNepPlu (and not long after that, pluto exclude from the solar system in August 24, 2006).

I think astronomy is interesting. I used to like running an experiment from science book with my little brother, making volcanos, making rainbow, a lot of things. We did it. But reading a book about astronomy is more like dreaming than facing reality, we cannot clearly see it, we can't even touch it. We only imagine how to be there. Like dreaming.

There's also a time when i liked going outside at night with my lil brother and looked up to sky to see the constellation by reading it in a constellation guide that we got from XY Kids Magazine. My dad even bought me a solar system figure from gramedia and a telescope.

Ever since i can talk, i said i want to become a pediatrician. And when i found out about this astronaut thing, i want to be a doctor that become an astranout. Is that possible? No, i didn't know that time. I just want it (i always imagine myself seorang dokter yang jadi ini, seorang dokter yang jadi itu. I'm really consistent with this one, becoming a pediatrician)

But when i found out that school for becoming an astronaut takes more than 10 years, i re-think again... Oh my god, it takes too long... Jadi semenjak saat itu, aku urungkan dan menanam dalam-dalam impian itu (dan kemudian kudapati ternyata kuliah kedokteran lebih lama daripada 10 tahun wkwk)

I realized now that it was actually a hobby. Something that i'm so excited about, that makes me want to learn about it more and more and more and more even though there's no exam for this topics. Well, i'm writing this because i'm in the state of having that ambition/dream again, i'm so overdose about this. The book that i read, the movie that i watch, my current top youtube search is about living in space.

Can you imagine how awesome it is? 

You are on mission to go to ISS. You prepare for it since years ago through training in NASA. After launch, you are flying with your only one Soyuz MS in space. Your body is flying because there's no gravitation. You do a lot of experiments about how to live outside earth. You live there for months. You can always see the earth from where you are living, but you still miss it.

Because i can.
