Mr. Diamandis,

First of all, I just wanted to tell you that becoming a part of SEDS completely changed my life, and for that I thank you.

Now on to my question: Your photo on your Wikipedia article depicts you flying in Microgravity, however it doesn't appear to be Zero-G Corp's 727. I've always wondered, what plane was this? It has so much space!

If you're a University of Arizona undergrad, you should consider joining UA's chapter of SEDS (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space). Many of us started out with a passing interest in space, and now there are several of us that have full-time or student jobs in the space industry!

I'm a Systems Engineering undergrad at the University of Arizona, and I work on OSIRIS-REx.

I've got a very average GPA, but spend a great deal of time on projects. Through just applying or asking around, I've had payloads fly to the edge of space, traveled to various NASA and private space facilities, and even flown in Reduced Gravity!

The best thing to do is show your enthusiasm. People seem to notice that and then the opportunities begin to present themselves.

Knowing people in the industry is great also, attend conferences and meet people!
