His goal was to go to space and explore every planet and universe there ever was. People's intentions can change or become less desperate as they grow. But as Max grew; his goal never changed or became discouraged that he couldn't go to space. Max thought his dream of going to space would come true someday.

He only made friends who were interested in space and astronomy. He studied very hard to make his goal come true, and one day Max met an astronaut. He requested the astronaut if he could come to space. As for the astronaut, because he didn't know Max's knowledge and will. So he said "no." Max ran away, and nobody saw him ever again.

Unluckily Max didn't win, but the person who did win didn't want the prize and chose to give it to Max.
