For the first time in more than two years, NASA is accepting applications from those interested in becoming an astronaut.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman says those chosen could live and work on the moon.
U.S. citizens can apply. Requirements include holding a master’s degree in a STEM-related field. A spokesperson for the agency told NPR the number of candidates selected will depend on mission needs and projected spaceflight rates. Out of more than 8,000 applicants for NASA’s last astronaut class, only 10 candidates were selected. The agency is accepting applications through Dec. 3.
