I want to be a astronaut, what courses should I take?

Answer 1

ENgineering focused courses:

leading to that degree take lots of sciences, math, mechanical drawing

Physical education for conditioning

Answer 2

Well, I'd become a business major. Hear me out. NASA only sends up an average of 30 or so astronauts a year, if that. There are hundreds, maybe a couple thousand, people who have been to all the right classes, got hired by NASA, went through all the training, but will die never having been in space.

BUT that doesn't mean you can't! Personal Space Flight is now a reality, and by the time you are out of college it will likely be a thriving industry. The privatization of space travel means you will be able to travel into space at your discretion, provided you have the money. States like New Mexico and Texas are building spaceports right now. Billionaire Richard Branson has commissioned a fleet of suborbital ships based on Spaceship One to launch from those spaceports. Robert Bigelow, owner of budget suites, has sucessfully launched a prototype inflatable space station, and hopes to have orbital hotels by 2015. Google names like Anousheh Ansari, the first female private space explorer, or Charles Simonyi, the microsoft executive next to go into space. These people aren't astronauts, but they're going anyway.

So, as I said, my advice is to go to business classes in order to learn how to get enough money to buy your ticket to space. And health classes so you stay in shape to go. And yes, physics and astronomy courses to help you appreciate the experience.
