Hey everybody! My name’s Trent, and I’m a computer science student and hobbyist game developer who’s been following LessWrong for a while. Finished reading the sequences about a year ago (after blazing through HPMOR and loving it) and have lurked here (and on Weird Sun Twitter...!) since then. Figured I’d make an account and get more involved in the community; reading stuff here makes me more motivated in my studies, and it’s pretty entertaining either way!
I’d love to be one of the first people on Mars. Not sure how realistic that goal is or what steps I should even take to make it happen beyond saving $500,000 for a supposed SpaceX ticket and mastering a useful skill (coding!), but it’s something to shoot for!
Looking forward to reading the linked posts, I haven’t seen a lot of them! Also, is this the newest Welcome thread? It’s over a year old...!

Hi, Trent!
Have you heard of the Mars One project?
I have! Wish I’d gotten in on the initial astronaut selection, haha. Still, my money is on SpaceX beating them to the punch.
