When I was 7, every other kid was into dinosaurs; I was into space. The Pioneers were a thing, the Mariners were a thing, the Vikings were a thing. I got my first telescope that Christmas, and it sucked. It was small, the tripod sucked, it was hard to aim, and the optics were sub-sub par. Yet, I was able to look at the moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and get hooked. That summer we went to an event with a bunch of telescope makers and was able to see my first globular cluster in a 6" scope. Ever since then, my head has been in the heavens.
