The LCROSS where am "I" really annoys me. Are they writing this exclusively for kids who would be entertained by the idea of a talking satellite?

Dear RylnSpace,

Wasn't it Shakespeare who said "tis better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all"?
Now that you know what you can't do today, you have choices to make...

You can choose to do nothing, in which case, you allowed a setback to defeat you.

You can address your deficiencies, and apply again.

You can accept your deficiencies, and find a way to work around them and still contribute to the overall effort. For every astronaut there are 10,000 people working behind them.

Support spaceflight...you don't have to work AT NASA to work FOR NASA.

Like you, I have one of those in a drawer. At age 47, I wasn't about to invest the time or money to pursue a childhood dream, but I was given a different mission, and was able to contribute to the effort in my own way.

Don't give up. Your chance will come.
