How to become a #NASA astronaut: an elite, competitive, and inspiring career.
Artemis, which aims to take humans back to the Moon (including the first woman and the first person of color on the lunar surface) and pave the way for Mars. Current and future astronauts can participate in missions to the Space Station, commercial flights (such as SpaceX Crew Dragon), or lunar explorations.
Tips for those who dream of this career (even in Brazil)
Although NASA requires American citizenship, Brazilians can be inspired and build a solid foundation:
Invest in a bachelor's degree + master's/doctorate in excellent STEM fields.
Gain relevant professional experience (research, aerospace industry, aviation).
Develop practical skills (piloting, diving, languages).
Follow opportunities in agencies such as AEB (Brazil) or international programs (ESA, for example).
Many NASA astronauts had careers in universities, companies, or the Armed Forces before being selected. The secret is to excel in a technical area and cultivate resilience, teamwork, and scientific curiosity.
Dreaming of being an astronaut is the first step — but it requires decades of dedication. As they say at NASA: strive to do difficult things and work as a team with a "small ego".
