If you could choose anyone either alive today or in history to be a mentor, who would it be and why?

All right, so this is going to say something about my dreams as a child. So when I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut. So for me, that person would be Sally Ride because she was like my inspiration when I was a young kid and also into so many amazing things.

That's a wonderful choice. You could still buy your way into space today.

Who knew? Now, I could do it. Before it was an issue, if you had bad eyesight, you couldn't be a fighter pilot, so you couldn't be an astronaut. But now...

Space tourism is coming.
