NASA opens Vacancy for Astronauts, NASA looking for people who want to be astronauts. They’ve been sending astronauts into space for over sixty years. Since 2000, they’ve always had someone up there.
NASA’s got big plans for the future. They want to land the first woman and the next man on the moon with their Artemis program.
They’re using a spacecraft called Orion on top of a big rocket called the Space Launch System (SLS). This will take people further into space than ever before, to the moon and eventually to Mars, according to Gizmochina.

If you become an astronaut, NASA will pay you $152,000 a year. But most people who want to be astronauts do it because they love the job, not just for the money. If you’re interested, you have to be from the United States and have a master’s degree in a science or engineering subject.
You also need three years of experience in that field, or a certain amount of flying hours if you’re a pilot. Medical doctors can count their time spent training as experience.
There are other ways to meet the requirements, like working towards a doctorate or finishing a pilot training program. It’s not easy to become an astronaut, but it shows how far we’ve come with technology that NASA can even advertise these opportunities online.
