#AskNASA┃ How Can I Be An Astronaut?

As NASA prepares to launch American astronauts this year on American rockets from American soil to the International Space Station – with an eye toward the Moon and Mars – NASA is accepting applications March 2 to 31 for the next class of Artemis Generation astronauts.

The basic requirements to apply include United States citizenship and a master’s degree in a STEM field, including engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science, or mathematics, from an accredited institution. Candidates also must have at least two years of related, progressively responsible professional experience, or at least 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. Astronaut candidates must pass the NASA long-duration spaceflight physical.

As part of the application process, applicants will, for the first time, be required to take an online assessment that will require up to two hours to complete.NASA expects to select the new class of astronaut candidates in mid-2021 to begin training as the next class of Artemis Generation astronauts.

Best of luck to anyone who wishes to be an astronaut. That was one of my dreams, but Vietnam got in the way (I volunteered for service there). Also, I have a physical disability that would make it impossible for me to do so (besides the fact that I'm 70 years of age!). I do have a PhD, but it's definitely not in a STEM field ... philosophy. Young people, work hard, keep in shape, meet the qualifications, and I hope to be staring at my TV watching you, someday ... like I watched Neil Armstrong, in 1969. Who's going to step on Mars, first? It will be one of you.

The first time I was asked what I would like to be at 6 years old I said I wanted to be a astronaut but being born in a third world country with where dreams can't travel far I quickly realized my limits. I've already resigned to that fact and now I'm just driven to make enough money that one day God willing I'll be able to pay for a trip to go to space. At least once.

Me: oh my god my dream is study astronomy or maybe be an astronaut!
My brain, my fear and my laziness : *NEVER*

Today im 14 years old and ever since i was 10 ive had the goal to become an astronaut after discovering the complexity of space, so every day i learnt about space, i learnt what i need to know and i try to learn more and more study these facts on my own and every birthday i look upon this video to inspire me, and every year i pool all my knowledge and test myself, to be better smarter and physical capabilities, and now today im designing a basic design of a sounding rocket. If anyone sees this hello, every year is an inspiration, every year a fall closer to my dream and every year i want to go against the odds and reach my dream after all the effort i put in yonder. If anyone sees this and bothers to read this wish me luck.

I'm graduating this May with a bachelor of science in Astronautical Engineering and then I'm going to graduate school after I get a job. My college is about 4 miles away from Goddard and many of my professors have and still do work for NASA. I might consider becoming an astronaut one day, but now I just want to get my foot in the door at NASA. I've always wanted to work there.
