Preference will be given to those with experience of:
- Spaceflight
- Commercial flight operations
- Flight instruction
Spaceflight? Not too many people have that that are American.
- goatforce5 16y agoEven ignoring the preference for those with previous spaceflight experience, how many people qualify for this job?
- hugh3 16y agoVery few. But I can easily imagine that a lot of the retired military test pilots and retired astronauts out there would be very happy to take this job. And it's not like they need to hire many... they could probably get away with three (one to fly White Knight, one to fly Spaceship Two, and one spare).
- robryan 16y agoWell given the shuttle program is coming to an end, there would probably be a far better short term outlook for those astronauts in a position like this. Is NASA keeping all it's astronauts or downsizing given the limited opportunities of the next few years.
