Hi /sci/

So I've been interested in becoming part of NASA since high school and once in college I majored in physics with a minor in premed. I'd already gotten my credit for chem from higher leveling in IB chemistry. I'm currently part of my university's cooperative education program and have applied to NASA's co-op education program.

Does anyone know the chances of me actually securing a job at NASA?
And if so it's always been my dream to go into space and be part of the shuttle (or whatever new technology they use in the future) launches. Anyone know the chances of that happening?

NASA is nothing more than a bureaucracy with no purpose other than its own preservation. Don't expect useful science to come out of an organization that intentionally inflates costs to the degree that NASA does.

>mfw NASA pioneered lunar exploration and the construction of the international space station.

If NASA isn't the ideal space agency to join, which one is? KSA? CSA?

All other space agencies are for pussies and jerks.

well if you intern, you've got a pretty good chance of getting in.

No you're right; build a time machine and join NASA 40 years ago so you can help your glorious nation perfect ICBM technology (you didn't actually think it was about science, did you?).

Get a Ph.D or learn to fly jets.
