Myths about becoming an AstronautโŒ๏ธ "You need to be a test pilot"

โœ…๏ธ While many Astronauts in the past were test pilots, this is no longer a strict requirement.
Agencies accept candidates from various backgrounds, including science, engineering, medicine and math.โŒ๏ธ "You need a degree in aerospace engineering"

โœ…๏ธ Many Astronauts have technical backgrounds but there are Astronauts with degrees in medicine, biology, physics, and other scientific fields.โŒ๏ธ "You must have military experience"

โœ…๏ธ While many Astronauts have a military background, it is not a requirement.
Civilian scientists, engineers, doctors, and other professionals are also selected.

Another little old job, one in which I seriously considered drawing a landscape/environment, when I had always complained that I wasn't good at it. In the end I not only found it satisfying but drawing landscapes has become my comfort zone!

Today we finally went to see #TheMoonWalkers immersive show at #Lightroom in London. Words/photos do not do it justice; it was absolutely incredible. We both cried! We also had the unexpected honour of briefly meeting former #Astronaut & #Cosmonaut #JerryLinenger
