I wanted to be an astronaut. Became a helicopter pilot in the marines. Wasn’t smart enough to apply for astronaut but certainly could have. Would not have gotten selected then got sicK and abandoned the flying dreams. I own a vending machine company now. I have some AI machines. They are pretty cool.
