Space Teen!
Another interesting tidbit from the Group 19 announcement yesterday: One of the speakers was Justin Houchin, 17, who wants to be the first teenager in space. My first reaction, was, of course: ha ha, who doesn't? Don't hold your breath, kid. Only, reading further, the thing is--he might do it. (FYI, the current youngest space traveler is Gherman Titov, who was 26 when he became the second cosmonaut in space. Lance Bass was 23 in late 2002 when he hoped to fly, but since Soyuz flights are booked through 2005, even if he were able to put together a deal in the future, which I've read he still hopes to do, he would be unlikely to beat Titov's record.)
