It's not easy to become an astronaut. Out of 20,000 people who want to do it,only 20 of them become astronauts.
First you must be fit. You must be 1. 6 ~ 1. 9 metres tall. Do you have the qualifications(资格)and experience to become an astronaut? Shuffle captains (机长)must already have 1,000 hours' experience of flying planes. If you are not a pilot,but want to be part of the team,you must already be a specialist(专家).You must be a Doctor(博士) of Science or Maths. You have probably already done research. You work well in a team.
The 2-year training program is hard. You must be able to work for long hours without sleep.You should have good concentration (专心).Do you have the right character (个性)? Do you get angry when your bicycle has a flat tire(走了气的轮胎)? That would not help the team!Astronauts must work calmly and must be ready to do any job in space.
If you are clever,qualified (有资格的)and experienced,you can always try. You will be away from home for two years. Flights into space are dangerous. You will not make muchmoney. On the other hand,you will have an ex citing trip into space and wonderful views. You will always be famous. You'll always be one of the world's very few astronauts.
