Interviewer: Why did you want to be an astronaut when you were a child?

Banu: Ah ... well I just wanted to be the first Indonesian person to go to space, right. There has not been anyone from Indonesia.

Interviewer: Were you influenced by a movie or the book you read?
Banu: Well ... from reading books ... My parents uh ... often bought me books about space ... just like Natural Science, science, uh ... Movies also influenced what I wanted to be. For example, the movie entitled “Apollo 13,” right …
Interviewer: And you wanted to be a general, didn’t you?
Banu: Yes ... like that. When I was a child, hehe ... I wanted to be a great … great man hehehe . . . becoming a great man is nice as I’d have my own people. I also wanted to be a minister because I wanted to develop Indonesia in the area where I’d be minister.
Interviewer: Do you think you can achieve these dreams?
Banu: Eh ... well ... InsyaAllah¹ ... hopefully these goals will be achieved.
Interviewer: When you wanted to be an astronaut, a general, were there any games through which you imagined yourself being a general or an astronaut? For example playing with airplane toys or any other games?
Banu: Eh ... well ... there were some games, if I wanted to fly, I played with kites, so I could fly, and I played with toy guns to imagine being a general, or well ... we played cowboy games.
Interviewer: Well, pretending to be cowboys ... um ... if you were on holiday, what did you do in Jakarta?
Banu: When I was on holiday ... well my parents, our family, liked to go around, for example, going to Ancol,² Dufan,³ which is like Disney World in Indonesia. Then, uh ... we went to Indonesia’s mini park, uh ... to Ragunan⁴ Zoo, well ... to Safari⁵ zoo, uh.... that is located in Puncak.⁶ That’s what I remember. Well I liked those places, but I didn’t go frequently but I went to those places at least once.
Interviewer: Are there any interesting experiences when you visited those recreation resorts?

Banu: Um ... the first time I went to Dufan, well, there were a lot of rides … but I remember “Tora-tora,”¹ that was fascinating. Besides, Ancol is also beautiful … on the beach. Uh ... I got on a pedaled boat in Ancol.

Interviewer: When you visited Ancol, did you go with your parents or alone?
Banu: With my parents, because I was still a kid, hehehe ...
Interviewer: Did you prefer going with your parents or alone when you were a child?
Banu: Of course, with my parents.
Interviewer: What about now, do you prefer going with your parents or alone?
Banu: Right now I prefer going alone, well ... when I see my parents ... I would go out with my parents more frequently, but if they don’t want to go, I just go alone.
Interviewer: Or you’d go with your friends in Jakarta to some recreation places?
Banu: Once I was in elementary school, I went to Dufan. Dufan is a common recreation place for children. So, my classmates and I all went to Dufan ... it was a great time in Dufan.
