Anyone here wanna be an astronaut? It's notoriously difficult, and the chances of getting selected are very slim. Despite this, it seems like there is still a lot of interest in becoming one. If that is your goal, what are you doing to try and make it happen?

Are you going the military route?

Are you spending all your time in research in hopes they need you for something up there?

Or maybe you plan to just join a private spaceflight company in hopes of working your way up the food chain.
