There were many opportunities for young Rosetto to experience the thrills of flight, both powered and unpowered, on Mars. Wind surfing is a very popular sport there and with much of the landscape untouched there are many places available for the enthusiasts. That was where Rosetto got his first taste learning to bend his body and become one with the board and sail. It was best done on smoother surfaces which were found mostly on the Northern plains. While in school in Utopia, he had joined a close knit group who planned outings on a periodic basis.

Powered flight was a much different experience all together. He could not decide which he preferred and so he didn't. However, every opportunity that was presented to him the young student could be found learning more about the cockpits. The busy Martian society teemed with ultra-light personal crafts and in the city in was a practically a necessity. His father had even used one for monitoring the vast acreage of which was charged. But this too was different from the explosive speeds attained in the scooters and shuttles.

This is why he was interested in the Navigational Sciences and what had ultimately brought him to take the Flight Training courses offered at the Academy. Today was his first day in one of their simulators. He imagined that it would be more realistic than the brief actvities on the General Training Holodeck. He was not disappointed.
