what do i do to become an astronaut ?

Answer 1

get shot into space :-)


no, really, study physics...engineering...and all things space-like.

Don't be overweight, have a good heart, and be generally fit.

Ask NASA about becoming an astraunaut, but I would assume some military experience (as a pilot) would not be amiss.

Answer 2

To be a NASA astronaut, see the source. Here is part of what it says:

Start with the basics and get them down first...you can't do anything without math and science." Students should read everything they can get their hands on about astronauts, Space in general, and their field of interest in particular.

Know how and be able to work as a team player; understand and appreciate both your ethnic, cultural and American history; and maintain a grasp on current events.

Answer 3

Write to NASA or any such space agency in your country of origin or residence. They will guide you.

In the mean time study hard and play very little.

If you have lots of money you call be a passenger on the mission, Russian are looking for the cash, to sustain their program, last cost was 20 million USA dollars.

There are air lines in the works also, wait and see. Rocket travels thru outer space between transpacific and transatlantic cities is also in the planing stages.

Answer 4

Same here!
Score good marks in science
read books on space
do be a member of this website
http://www.nasa.gov
give the special exam of nasa where the nasa people just pick up students who are clever enough to join nasa

Answer 5

Go to college and major in math, a science field, or engineering (probably aerospace eng. would be best, for obvious reasons). Then, after that, just hope to be in the right place at the right time!!

Answer 6

First step, become a pilot first. Join any aviation academy for Pilot course.

Answer 7
