What does your child want to be when they get older?

Last night after my son's bedtime story we turned off the lights and were looking at his glow in the dark solar system. Now we have done this many times and he has told me many times he wants to fly to Saturn. Well last night I told him that no one has ever flown all the way to Saturn because there isn't a space shuttle that can fly that far. He thought for a little bit and said it's ok mom and can fix the space shuttle so it can fly that far. I told him that would be great then he told me he would first fly to mars and land then take a different space shuttle to Jupitar land and then fly to Saturn. Now my son is only 4 years old so the fact that he had put so much thought in to it really suprised me but I told him that would be great and he told me I could come with him and so could dad but his little sister couldn't because she isn't big enough she is to little and he doesn't want her to get hurt. My husband is a sport pilot and has always had his head in the clouds and been fascinated with space so he was really glad to hear all this makes me a little nervous but I hope to help him keep his dream alive.
