Do you enjoy travel? A fan of technology? How about camping? If you said yes to all three, you might want to think about a career as an astronaut.
NASA is accepting applications, for the first time in four years, for the next crop of astronauts. One of them might eventually crew a mission to Mars.
Although that mission is at least 20 years away, NASA has already received over 6100 applications for the 8-14 spots available for the program.
NASA is looking for people with an engineering, science or math background and strong leadership skills. Military experience is a plus, too.
The ability to work in a team and getting along with your crew are a must. After all, would you want to spend up to three years on a mission to Mars with someone you didn't like?
