(CNN)Standing at the porch of his house in Ghana, as a young boy, Ashitey Trebi-Ollennu was fascinated by the planes that flew in and out of the airport. But his dreams were not to be a pilot, his imagination was more unique than that.
He envisioned a future where robots would fly the planes. "I was fascinated by replacing human pilots with computers. I was very interested in that as a young kid."
Many years after, the young dreamer has surpassed his imagination. He is now a lead engineer on InSight - NASA's spacecraft which recently landed on Mars. He is in charge of the mission's robotic arm mechanism.
