On this episode of the podcast I try to answer the question "Did I apply for the Inspiration4 or dearMoon project?" as honestly as possible. Going to space is not easy, and having physical limitations makes that harder. But not impossible. The possibility of going to space and podcast about my experience has me literally dreaming about the stars.

Just like with any problem, solutions can be found even when it seems impossible. It just takes looking at things from a different perspective and then new solutions reveal themselves. I've changed my mind about wanting to be an astronaut over the course of this podcast. Recently, with all the exciting opportunities for everyday people to go to space upon us - I find myself being both brutally honest about my chances now and extremely hopeful and excited about the future possibility. 

This was a really stressful episode to record and put out there. I've been thinking about this for a while, and especially now that I'm trying to be healthier and more fit. I've got a long way to go, and dreaming of going to space helps me quantify the work I have left and how far I can push myself to get stronger. My hope is this opens up your mind to the possibility that something you felt was impossible is actually achievable if you set the right goals and have the right perspective. We all have our own unique challenges, but don't let close-loop thinking prevent you from achieving your full potential.
