My dreamjob

In this era of social media and streaming, many science-related projects and organisations have gone online to promote what they do and to teach people about science and technology. In particular, NASA has done some live streamings from the International Space Station (ISS), where the astronauts answer questions people posted on Twitter or Facebook, and also talk about northern lights, climate change or related topics that they've been able to spot from space.

And I would like to be up there and be that person in the ISS answering those questions.

Today, there are many scientists, physicists and even biologists who have gone up there to do research or to test instruments, it's not "so" elite as it was back in the 70s. Of course, it's still a lot of work, both intelectual, mental and physical in order to get selected by the NASA and go to space, but it's easier.

There are many planned missions as well to do longer trips to colonise Mars or Jupiter's moons, and who knows...maybe they need an engineer in natural resources to figure something out, so I may find a place at NASA. And considering the humongous distances between Earth and Mars, I have plenty of time to do that scene from "2001: A Space Odyssey" I've always dreamt of.
