jumper03 0 #1 June 21, 2007 I submitted my application to become an Astronaut candidate in early 2005 and was told the next selection would be made July 6, 2005. Budget cuts and other crap got in the way so it was pushed to 2006, then to July 6, 2007. So I've been waiting and waiting and today found out - due to budget shortfalls, the next astronaut selection will happen summer 2008. Well, guess that gives me another year to get more ratings, polish my russian, get in better shape...yada yada yada.Scars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,584 #15 June 21, 2007 That's a tough row to hoe even if you get it. Your life is totally not your own when you're an astronaut. But I'll bet you know that. I'm sorry they put off the selection again. I look forward to the thread in dz.com when you get it: "Jumper03 -- Ascan" Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustChuteMeNow 0 #16 June 21, 2007 Well look on the bright side. You can be a big boy for another year and not have to wear diapers under you space suit. Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
