Also, just so you can gain a bit more from us people here at PPRuNe, you could search through the old posts. You'd find answers to all the questions like;
1)Does starair astronaut training school give preference to the NASA sponsored students, when there's a shortage of spaceships?
2)Will HSBC lend you the money for the course, and can you make re-payments in the mars branch?
And a real essential one ..
3)Should you get a ESA or an NASA licence. Imagine what a bummer it would be if you couldn't fly the Enterprise on a ESA one!! rochronner could spend all day telling you about getting the wrong licence.
4)And will you get that first rocket job, with just 250 TT, or have to perhaps become an instructor for a few years first.
Any questions, just ask. We're a friendly bunch of like minded people here ...
