THE QUESTIONS:

Here are the questions you can answer to share your ideas, with answers from one very special 'kid':

Col Greg Johnson is Chief Space Of Spacenation, a long time STEM advocate and a two-time Space Shuttle pilot with 37 days in space.

1. When did you space dream start?

"When I was age 7"

2. Why did space first fascinate you?

"It came from when I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. I was woken up after bed time and watched it with my family on black and white tv. Once I was inspired by this to go to space, my siblings sometimes laughed at me, but I kept the dream to myself as the inspiration that kept me going"

3. What item from home would you take to space?

"I took a printed photo of the people important in my life. I wanted this because a physical picture makes it seem like people in the photo were coming with me. I was then able to take the photo back to give to them.
