"NASA posted a hiring notice for new astronauts Tuesday, on usajobs.com, seeking for the first time in almost 30 years men and women to fly aboard spacecraft other than the shuttle. The agency is seeking 10 to 15 new faces for three to six-month missions aboard the international space station." Requirements include 'Must be a U.S. citizen between 5-foot-2 and 6-foot-3 in height (to squeeze into Russia's three-passenger Soyuz capsule)' 'At least a bachelor's degree in engineering, a biological or physical science, or mathematics' 'three years of relevant professional experience' and most interestingly 'Vision correctable to 20/20. For the first time, the space agency will consider applicants who have undergone successful refractive eye surgery.'

We would all be so so honored to know you!!! Well, we already are, but hey, a space man... and you know you will make me seriously mad if you don't apply. I hate when people don't follow their dreams. But you go now... apply... go to SPACE! Crazy, but I really think you have a totally good shot at it!!!! And when you are back on the planet, you will be so so forever stoked you did!!!
