Greetings from a new member

Hi all.

Just landing on the forum so I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Davide and since when I was a kid I have a uncontrolled passion for astronautics and in special way for the space shuttle (on the other hand it had to be that way since I was born just a couple of months after Columbia maiden flight!). I've always wanted to work for the space program, in particularly manned, and therfore I chose to study aerospace engineering. Unfortunately I couldn't get in the space industry (not yet at least) so I ended up in the civil aviation maintenance industry. I use to say that airplanes are spaceships flying low and slow .

I really envy all you guys that have worked for the Shuttle program, I think you did one of the most interesting job in the world.

I'll enjoy for sure the forum and I hope to be also of some help.

see you on the forum

cheers

Davide
