NASA Seeks New Astronauts for Future Moon Missions and Lunar Base Work
NASA is looking for new talent. On its website, the US space agency says the next generation of astronauts will be trained to work on the Moon.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman says in a press release that those who get the jobs could “walk on the moon, live and work on the lunar base, and pioneer the systems that will ultimately transport crews to Mars.”
Applications are open to all US citizens, but the list of requirements is long. Among other things, applicants must be test pilots or have a master’s degree in a qualifying subject.
Before the new astronauts can start, they must also pass security clearances, medical and psychiatric examinations, and drug tests.
