I remember when I was in China, didn't even have internet.
My parents bought me a children's book about planets and stuff... I still remember it called 十万个为什么 (Literally: 100 Thousand Whys)
I was so intrigued.
I remember I had not much things to read and I kept reading that over and over again. I remember still having it when I was in 2nd grade in the US... like that's my last "artifact" of my pre-US life...
I remember just putting it in my bookbag and bringing it to school cuz... idk why... maybe I just felt nostalgic about it and thought it'd be cool to bring a book nobody else in the school would be able to read... sort of like a special ancient text made for me xD
Sadly the binding on that book is garbage and it fell apart and I no longer have that book...
(I don't remember NASA being mentioned btw)
Later I remember constantly googling space stuff once we had internet access at home...
I think its:
Childhood... like space is a big concept... so it feels like this "big thing" and I get obsessed about it... like many kids probably do. You go from being in a tiny apartment at home to suddenly knowing about very big empty space... Mind Blowing...
Humanity already been on the moon... meh... not that exciting... especially not after a few decades and interests fade... like omg someone sailed across the ocean... boo boring... already done...
