Help Wanted: Astronauts

America needs YOU at the frontiers of space and technology!

NASA is now accepting applications for its 2009 astronaut class. The agency is looking for a few men and women who want to fulfill their dreams and be a part of the next generation of explorers.

The open positions are for astronaut candidates to train for tours of duty on the International Space Station, the largest human spacecraft ever built. It is also the site for research that will prepare NASA for future long-duration human missions to the moon and other destinations. The Constellation Program is responsible for building and operating the next-generation vehicles that will carry astronauts to the space station and the moon....http://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/recruit.html

Since I don't have a degree, I'm out! Too bad. I could probably do that job rather well with my technical backround.

Applicants must meet physical standards and educational requirements, which include a bachelor’s degree in engineering, math or science and at least three years of experience in one of these fields.

Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. --from Rhino's link




Hell, I tutor college students, and I'm only a high school graduate. I'm with Beowulf also. Also, I don't think they are looking for 50-something year olds!:evilgrin:

About the women and minorities detail, that tells me right there that NASA will pick a lower-qualified applicant over a higher-qualified one, due to their status alone.
