2 . 17 Year-Old Astronaut

Elena Wolf is a reporter and is interviewing(采访）a   17 year-old   girl，Alyssa Carson，who wants to go to Mars(火星）. Here is what Alyssa Carson and her father said about her great dream.

Alyssa Carson, Aspiring(有抱负的）Astronaut：

Well, I first got interested in wanting to become an astronaut (宇航员)from watching a cartoon called the Backyardigans when I was around three years old. And basically on the show, the characters went on these imaginary missions(任务) to Mars. I wanted to be like one of their friends and go with them, and I started asking my dad all these questions, and basically just kept asking for videos, pictures and books and anything I could find about space and Mars.

Bert Carson, Alyssa’s Father

I’m just of that nature that I believe that parents should support their children in whatever their dreams are. It doesn’t matter if it changes a thousand times. It doesn’t matter how crazy it is, because it doesn’t get any crazier than what my kid is dreaming. And you know, there’s a great potential that she’s probably going to leave this planet. Because you have to look at this. You say, is she too young to be doing some of this thing? You know, every kid out there, if they’re wanting to do whatever job it is, you know, there are people getting pilot licenses and doing flying lessons. I mean, there are eight and nine year-olds doing this. So, I mean, to be 17 and getting a pilot’s license I don’t think is that young at all. As far as her going off into space, like I said, space is a very dangerous thing. All it wants to do is kill you. So, you know, I worry about that, but on the other side of that, she has educated me to show how important it is for us to leave this planet for the survival (生存；幸存)of the human species, and so it’s bigger than the two of us, and so I just have to let her go and I have to let her realize her dream.
