Ever since our child was little, she has said that she wanted to be an astronaut.
She always wanted her room decorated in spaceships and we even had the solar system painted on her ceiling.
Once she was in school, she kept this dream alive by applying to space camp in the summer time and learning anything and everything about space travel. Now that she is school she is learning to become an Aerospace Engineer. Although she would still rather go into space, she realizes that designing the unit and things like space shuttles is just as interesting. She also has a better chance of getting a job in this field, and she told us she was surprised about how complex the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system needed to be on these vehicles. But, when she thought about it, this system was responsible for not only maintaining temperature, however ensuring that the occupants had fresh air to breath. It’s not like they can open a window or step outside in space. The Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system on a spacecraft must recirculate the air, introduce the needed oxygen, detach unwanted gases like carbon dioxide, and control humidity levels. This is a really pressing part of the design on a whole… We are seriously proud of how dedicated our child is to this field of study. She always stuck to it however also realized that she needed a work that would pay well and have more chances than that of an actual astronaut. As an added benefit, she has a better appreciation for how much of a position Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C systems play in our biweekly lives.
