2011: My Space Odyssey

By Esther Dyson
As a kid, I assumed that I would go to the moon without having to do much in particular to make it happen. I just took it for granted that, by the time I was about 40, space travel would be a common thing. As a reset-button experience, I am about to spend most of the next five months in Russia, training to be a cosmonaut in Star City, just outside Moscow.
