My thoughts...

Join the ROTC program in high school. Once in College, you'll already be an officer. Thats what I did. Then I logged around 5,000 flighthours in the USAF and aplied to be an astronaut. And what do you know, Now I am an astronaut!!!!!

This is interesting ! Please tell us what you think of the sim once it's released. And just as others asked here, have you been in space yet? If so, would you like to tell us when you were up there?

Of course I can understand if you'd like to not tell us this

I have not gone up yet. I'm scheduled for Orion. That'll be fun . This sim looks very close to the shuttle sims in houston. They made us "rookies" have a go in it!

ddalton07, Do you have a picture of yourself in any of your NASA cloths you can send me? My kids will go nuts showing them a picture of an Astronaut I have talked to.

I guess that makes you one of the peacocks 

The only thing I find a bit strange is that I can't find you on any picture of the latest NASA astronaut classes. Not The Peacocks, The Penguins or The Bugs. And as far as I know the latest astronaut class was The Peacocks from 2004.

So if you don't mind I remain a slight bit skeptical for the moment
