ESA lookinhg to recruit new astronauts.

Post by greypanther » Wed, 17. Feb 21, 21:15

So it looks like the ESA is looking to recruit some new astronauts, particularly looking for women to apply. Shockingly, ( perhaps ) even disabled people. https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/56013080
Anyone going to apply?
The agency will also launch the Parastronaut Feasibility Project for future astronauts with physical disabilities.
Not sure I like them, if they choose any, being called parastronauts though...

N.B.: I have forgotten how to tidy the link up too! :x

I think there are certain physical requirements. I don't see anything surprising here.
I was more surprised by the competition from NASA to create a space toilet. They promised a grant of 35,000 for those who can.

Wow, you mean I have a chance to bring my childhood dream into reality? It's great; now, I can become an astronaut and see space with my own eyes and not through my telescope. I'll try to apply — who knows, perhaps the luck will be on my side.
