PhreeZone 20 #9 October 8, 2007 I believe the last round of canidates picked were looking at a 10-14 year wait for their space shot. The corp is sitting at 100+ members right now cleared for space flight status, the shuttle can only hold at max 9 or 10. The replacement for the shuttle isn't even done yet and with the focus being on a moon or Mars shot next, its extremely likely that the canidates selected would be ISS or Mars bound in 15-20 years if not longer.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #10 October 8, 2007 Well, the newspaper said there are 91 candidates for the shuttle right now. These recruits will go on the Russian Soyuz up to the Space Station. They are also aiming to build a station on the moon by 2020.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #13 October 8, 2007 ...evidently I don't. Everytime I turn around I get myself in a world of shit. Just imagine what I could do to the space program. On the brighter side of things...the shit I get myself into is really, really, DEEP shit! My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

riddler 0 #17 October 8, 2007 They're kinda picky about who they hire. I have a few friends that applied to become astronauts. They were no slouches! All were genius-level IQ, relatively good shape, etc. NASA takes a "don't call us, we'll call you" attitude.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
