Looking For A Job?

Do you need a job? Dream of becoming an Astronaut? Well heres your big break. NASA is currently hiring astronauts. You can even apply online! this possibly could seem like a joke some might think but this is a completely serious matter. NASA needs astronauts to send into space but wait, theres a catch. NASA doesn't have it's own spaceship anymore since the space program ended in July 2011. What happens now is that NASA will send you up with Russians in their own space shuttle to the International Space Station for six months at a time. But not many trips will americans attend. Each seat an american astronaut aces on a Russian shuttle, America pays Russia $63 million. NASA hopes in about three to five years to build there own commercial rockets to send Americans astronauts to the Space Station. Eventually NASA will send astronauts to Mars and/or an asteroid but these trips are about a decade away. NASA needs about 55 new astronauts. For your resume you will need to have at least a bachelor's degree in engineering, biological science, physical science, physical science or math, must learn Russian, be a U.S citizen, know basic physics, 20/20 vision and be between 5 feet 2 inches and 6 feet 3 inches. The job pays between $64700 and $141700 a year.
