Along those lines, I am writing a novel to influence people (primarily the 18-30 crowd) to be more passionate about space exploration. I'd like to inspire them to *believe*, to believe that space exploration is worth it, especially if they had the dream at one point but later dropped that passion, for whatever reason. My question for OASIS is: what inspired you? Why do you care about space today? Also, what sort of books have you read and thought, "Wow! Now I remember why I was interested in space!"?
