Initially for me it was the Apollo program with Neil, Buzz and the gang from Nasa...
When I got older my High School had a planetarium...I did well enough in class I got asked to help run it...
During university and early adulthood I drifted away a bit but always held a place in my heart for Astronomy...when my oldest son expressed interest in Astronomy it was an easy way to rejoin the hobby with the blessing and encouragement of my spouse.
The only drama is that I grew up in the Northern Hemisphere and learned the constellations there...now living here in the Southern Hemiphere everything is "upside down" still wonderful to see Orion just have to remember that he is on his head!
