"I am 70 years old now," he says. "On reflection, kids don't think straight. I think most teenagers, youth of those days and certainly of these, make their mind up to do something and don't think of the consequences.

"It was a pretty dangerous thing, but did I ever think of giving up? Absolutely not, that was the last thing that went through my mind."
End quote.

Tell me about it!
I often think about the crazy things I did as a "youngster", with no thought as to the consequences!.... :o ...!
It still frightens me now, to think about it!

Now that I am older, (and wiser), I tend to think twice (or more), before doing anything which is obviously very silly, or dangerous!

I often wonder how lucky a 70-year-old would feel now, having been rejected for an exploratory trip to the Planet Mars, which ended in failure, when he/she was an enthusiastic astronaut "youngster"?
...anyone for Mars now?.... :lol: ...!
