NASA accepting astronaut candidates

[yodameister]

Cool...I have the educational background required. I have the experience required. I have the physical requirements in line. Cool...I'm going into space!

For all of you who think you are in the “I’m not qualified” category-
I met the wonderful Don Thomas when he moved to Baltimore a couple of months ago, and we are having ongoing talks about ways for him to be involved in FIRST here in Maryland.

He was rejected from NASA as an astronaut 3 times over many years. But he kept following his dream, and kept figuring out what he needed to do next. Don just retired from NASA, with 1000+ hours in space.

I kinda found it funny that a degree in Archeology is not counted as a qualification..

I'm sure that will change the day we find some alien artifacts on another planet and we need some experts in that field.




/me thinks I have watched way too many Space/Sci-Fi movies in my day.
