NASA is now accepting applications for astronauts. You might
fly in the International Space Station, two currently unnamed spacecraft being
built, or the Orion deep-space exploration vehicle.
“Frequent travel may be required.”

“Distant and near visual acuity must be correctable to
20/20, each eye. The use of glasses is acceptable.”
Hey what? An astronaut with glasses?
As awesome as it might be, that's not a job I'd ever be interested in. Motion sickness, leaving family, isolation... Nope. Someone else can have it.
ReplyDeleteI would have to wear glasses. That would be strange.
ReplyDeleteI'm really surprised they allow glasses. I think the Air Force requires perfect vision without glasses, 'coz what if they break during a flight? You can't do your job if you can't see anything. Thanks for the interesting post!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Although the list of requirements is actually pretty strict. :-)
