Hello Friends,

1) Begin your preparation as early as possible. Learn the basics in elementary school like mathematics and science. Read about everything you can you get hands on about astronaut space.

2) Learn how to work in a team don't forget world around you as NASA does not exist in vaccum.

3) College Degree is must. It is also asked you do well in school first study hard make good grades on the SAT or ACT. Make good decisions you want to study whether it will be engineering, biological etc.

4) NASA's minimum degree requirement for an astronaut is a bachelor degree from an accredited institution. So work hard in your chosen classes. Your grades should allow you to enroll in a good master of science program.

10) If you are interested in a pilot/commander position instead of mission specialist you will be also required to go in at least 1000 hrs of flight time in command of jet aircraft. During training all crew members trained on T-38 jet in which controls are identical to the space shuttle and therefore can be used as flight simulators either on ground or in actual flight.
