When you are a pilot for nasa, you dont really test or do experiments outside the ship, like space walk or anything else for research.Most of the pilots start out by flying planes in the navy or being a test pilot. What type of jobs or backround do the ones who test,spacewalk and other expirient astronauts have?
-if i am wrong about any of the information i said, please tell me
thanx!

start with military training. (any under sea or off shore work will probably help too.)
as long as you can follow orders, you have a chance of getting in.
zero g is quite unique and I figure they'd train you in that area as they want you to be trained
most AF positions will get you in since you've already been trained and tested in hyper G environments. Thats needed to accept the massive Gs on your mind and body at the moment of liftoff.
And if the pilot dies, you can take the helm
all members are equally responsible for reentry into earth
