If you could meet one famous person, living or dead, who would it be?
If you could meet one famous person, living or dead, who would it be? (Can be a singer, actor/actress, politician, scientist, author, etc.) and why? Do you admire them? 

-Personally, if given the opportunity to meet any famous person, dead or alive, I would like to meet Elon Musk. Founder of PayPal, Space X, and Tesla. He is a very ambitious person and I strive to be like him by creating my own business. He is investing in the future of space travel which is  nessessary as the government isn't. He has also created Tesla, which is also the future of transportation. This man is starting the future! If I met him I would ask him advice and maybe pitch a few ideas!

There are many possibilities, but, perhaps, the late Admiral Grace Hopper. I once had the opportunity to hear her speak in an auditorium, I know it was sort of her stock speech, but it was great. She was an early computer pioneer. She may not have invented the word "bug" but she really did tape an insect into a log book with the note "first actual case of bug being found." She is famous for developing the computer language COBOL.

Some of her famous sayings, perhaps not original with her, were: "A ship in port is safe, but that is not what ships are built for," and "When in doubt, try it; it is easier to apologize than to get permission."

Elon Musk is a good choice. I like the word "musk", too (FWIW). I'd like to have lunch with Carl Sagan, because he had a very lyrical/poetic way of talking about science. Or JRR Tolkien, because I Iike hobbitses and Gollums.

Honestly, I don't have such a wish but if possible I would like to meet all the 7 billion people living in the world because everyone is famous in their own place. 

BTW, thanks for letting us know about the founder of Paypal, Space-X, and Tesla.
