When Scott’s application to the NASA astronaut training program was turned down, he was naturally upset…as any 6-year-old boy would be.
He chose instead to write as much as he possibly could about science, technology, space exploration and Star Trek. His work has appeared in Wired, The Wall Street Journal, the BBC, CNN and NBC. He currently covers environmental technology for Forbes and space-related stuff for Space.com.
He still hopes to be the first journalist in space.
