Discovery
The shuttle Discovery landed successfully today. While watching it on local news and CNN I couldn’t help feeling proud to be part of a species that’s capable of such things. One day I hope to contribute something towards that effort even though it’s too late for me to become an astronaut. That job wouldn’t fit well with where I am in life, but I’d love be involved somehow. Maybe it’ll be through embedded software development for robotic devices … who knows.
Qualifications aside, if I had no surviving family or loved ones I’d go into space in a heartbeat.

.insert {qualifications, at{ “, “}, “if I had no surviving family or loved ones”}
// .remove {”Qualifications aside, “}
you forgot to uncomment the last line

Not sure what you were implying by suggesting that I remove “Qualifications aside,” … either way, I definitely don’t have the qualifications to join the space program and become an astronaut at this point. Or maybe you were just trying to be funny. Yeah, that’s probably it.
