"Thunderbirds are go!" and "Apollo 11" let every boy wish to become a space man.

When I was a kid, I watched the TV live, saying "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind". (To be frank with you, I couldn't hear it because the sound was awful and I couldn't understand English either.)
I watched the TV series; "Thunderbirds are go!", around that time too. (BTW, I recently learned that "go" is an adjective here, meaning "ready".)
Every boy used to make plastic models of the luna-module, the command-module, and No2 Thunderbirds.
I liked No2 most, somehow, but I don't know why. No2 wasn't stylish. She had a fat, green body which might remind people of a frog. Yet, not a few boys liked No2 most. It surely appealed to boys' mind for some reason.
Well, now the time has changed in my inner-self, and I've lost interested in space travel.
I don't envy the Japanese astronaut who has stayed in the international-space-station for as long as 6 months, after the US space shuttle plans had already finished. What if Russian ship got some kind of trouble? He might not be able to come back to the earth, forever. Noooo! It is awful.
I sometimes missed my old dreams though.

When I was a kid, I watched the TV live broadcast of the moon-landing, when Armstrong said, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".

He might not be able to come back to the Earth, ever.
That's awful.

Thank you for the corrections.

BTW, the boy in the picture probably has his definite policy. I would like to ask him if he wants to be an astronaut.
