Father and son reunited on Duna

[ximrm]

Hey there,

It was not the first time that my son Alex(7) saw me playing KSP. He seemed to develop more and more interest over the time.

He even asked me to teach him how to play the game! (I almost lost a tear in that moment) I told him lots of things about the game and space in general, even though i doubt, he understood everything.

This evening after coming home from a long work day, he surprised me. First, I was about to send him to bed. (How dare he stay up so late?)

My wife calmed me down and told me to wait. He took out a large piece of paper, he had rolled up behind his back.

It was a watercolor painting he did in school, titled "Alex and Pa together on Dune" (I think he meant Duna).

I almost cried, Never been so proud.

I'll certainly spend more time with him now. I'll have to switch some shifts and maybe do one or two extra, but spending time with my son, see him grow, see him develop an interest in science, that is  just priceless.  

Here it is:

This is amazing. I see that your thing under your name says "lunatic artist" clearly your son has artistic skills, so like father like son. Maybe the apple doesnt fall far from the newtonian tree is more appropriate eh?

Overall, that's a very touching story! I can't really empathize since I'm too young to have a kid, but I DO see one problem.

You may have trouble landing on your SRB looking thingy.

Seriously though, your kid is the next Vincent Space Gogh!
