- mikeash 10y agoApply here: http://astronauts.nasa.gov http://astronauts.nasa.gov If you want to go to Mars, now is probably a good time to start astronaut training. If you get in, you'd probably be about at the prime of your astronaut career when the time came to pick people to go.
- shirro 10y agoPut at least $500,000 together and wait for SpaceX to develop the MCT. You have practically zero chance of being an astronaut with NASA because the cost of launch with something like SLS will make sending more than a handful of the best of the best unaffordable.
- erikb 10y agoWell, true. But usually when one company finds a cheaper solution the others are pressured to do the same. NASA will be slower, but eventually they will provide the same service quality as SpaceX or will be replaced with something else.
