I got it immediately.
Then again, I repeatedly checked out a book on radio astronomy from my school library when I was in 6th grade. :) I was going to be an astronomer when I grew up that year. (My aspirations got a lot vaguer in junior high -- at that point, I just knew I wanted to be *some* kind of scientist or something. Didn't settle on mathematics until I was in high school.)
Whereas that is when I settled on astronomy rather than chemistry.
