NASA is looking for a few good men and women who want to become astronauts and spend a considerable amount of time on the International Space Station. NASA is looking for 10-15 new recruits. The requirements are strict since they are seeking well educated people in top physical shape. In addition, applicants must be willing to travel a lot as the ad says,

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.

Teaching experience, including experience at the K-12 level, is considered to be qualifying experience; therefore, educators are encouraged to apply.

The open positions require extensive travel on Earth and in space. Possible destinations may include, but are not limited to, Texas, Florida, California, Russia, Kazakhstan, the International Space Station and the moon.

Those who apply should note that this can potentially be the longest interview of their lives.

Final selection as an astronaut will depend upon satisfactory completion of a training and evaluation period that lasts approximately two years at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Only US citizens need apply.
