Applying To Be An Astronaut

Posted on 13:00 by hony
Wow there's a lot of forms.

Updated: Where it asked for "relevant skills" I put "experienced in zero-g hand to hand combat" because I read Ender's Game like 50 times as a kid.

Update 2: Where it asked in what languages I was proficient, I put down "English, Russian, and European."
