I started this blog to document the actions I am taking in trying to become an astronaut. It's my ultimate goal, my dream. Every week or so I post a new update to recap the week or add interesting pictures. I hope you enjoy the site and remember to follow your dreams no matter what others may think of them.

I found out that I wanted that in wanted to be become an astronout a little to late, in the middle of my masterprogram in biotech engineering which I´m finishing in 1 year.
