- On October 18, NASA conducted its first all-female spacewalk. NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir put on their suits to replace a failed power controller outside the ISS in an operation that lasted seven hours and seventeen minutes. This was Meir’s first spacewalk and the fourth for Koch, who has now accumulated almost 28 hours of spacewalking time.
So far, we’ve sent humans to orbit around space, we’ve sent them to the moon and we have sent probes to Mars, Venus, Titan, and even some asteroids and comets. So what’s next? Well, NASA wants to send humans to Mars by the 2030s. They already have a 5 phase plan, operating within the Lunar Vicinity. Their goal? “to enable a capability to extend human presence, including potential human habitation on another celestial body and a thriving space economy in the 21st Century.”
Surely, astronauts selected for this program will face even more… interesting selection and training program, than the process astronaut candidates face today.
So what does it take to become an astronaut? What type of training do selected candidates go through? And how much of their time do astronauts actually spend in space?
You’re watching Explore Mode and in this episode, we will tell you all about NASA’s astronaut selection process.

Astronauts are the true alpha people of society. They are so excellent in so many ways it's almost superhuman
exactly, the real modern renaissance men/women, something I aspire to be, not those self-proclaimed "alphas" strutting around in gyms with their muscles beards and tattoos.
@@reinforcer9000 FInally, someone who understand life
They really do show how great our accomplishments can be when we all work together.
😂😂😂 fucking idiots
So what are they 😂 wolves lmao the word alpha is so cringe
Currently, I'm 17 and planning on joining AFROTC in college to join the air force as an officer after college. I've been binging these kinds of videos all day now and I think I've made up my mind. This is what I'm going to strive for.
see you in space!!
See y'all there!
I'm following you, shortly behind. I aim to become a fighter pilot and an engineer. I also aim for great math and science knowledge. I will get there, and so will you. I wish you success and remember, you are in a competition with all the other applicants, every, single, day
Hope to be there to👽
My high school gpa is bad can i be a astronaut?
Go NASA!! I also want to become an astronaut. To all out there who do, you can do anything. Each one of us have the opportunity to go to space, the last frontier- or even Mars. You. Can. Do. This.
thank you so much this inspired me, I hope u achieve ur dreams!!
Legit the only problem so far is that.. I don’t live in America so it’s really hard.
But I’m still trying
I want to be an astronaut too, see you in space!!!
@@notsobreadd There are different soace agencies so maybe try to find one near where you are, or maybe move to America?
@@notsobreadd But I know moving to America is easier said and done, because you can't just pack up and leave ur life behind
I'm an aspiring astronaut for Japan, and there is a lot of valuable information in this video! Thanks so much for sharing!
I cant wait to see you in space
See you there man
I want to become an astronaut, I Wiil try my hardest but money can be a little difficult
Anything is possible :]
you may not know me but I believe in you :D
there are loans and scholarships for the financially challenged to go to school. best of luck
I want to become astronaut
the military is a great way to get your foot in the door(mainly the air force) because they'll pay for your education and you'll get your jet experience
Me too!
The first guy Kim’s resume floored me
I'll be an Astrophysicist and Astronaut someday
All the best
Cmon!
Me too:)
I’ll see u there :)
See you at NASA
I believe in NASA that they can and they will land the first person on Mars. Ever since I’ve learned about space and NASA I said to myself “ I want to to be an astronaut and one day feel what it is like to be weightlessly floating in space.
From future space X made it first 🗿

ISRO enters the chat
I don't know if my brain can take the courses to become a Astronaut soon,but this is my Dream✨
We did conquer moon when internet and google never existed... Mars will be a tough and daring mission but by 2035 we will be martians too.. I support each and every space agency in their efforts and myself want to be an astronaut!!
abu Isa we are training rn we are going in 4 years
@abu Isa
It would cost 152 billion dollars for the program and we already got all the info we needed for the moon since we went there.
Besides we are going to go again probably because so many people are asking for it.
Legit no offense, but I really hate it when people ask this thinking the moon landing was fake.

This is so inspirational
Im a 20 year old undergraduate student from the uk studying astrophysics. This is what I want to do. Hopefully I can be up there one day.
Good luck
I want to live among the stars
you do
I know its kind of early to decide because im in middle school but im not sure if I can mix these things with a healthy life. I want to be a physicist/mathematicianl/astrophysicist, I plan on following a relative to caltech or a similar college.
I was not sure if I could be an astronaut and an astrophysicist at the same time.
I also wasnt sure if it would be a good idea to go to the military before college and if it would help me or harm me to get into a top school.
I was also wondering how far into college I can go. Is there anything after a phd? Can I work for research at a college while also being an astronaut?
I am very interested in math, astronomy, physics, programming, robotics, and maybe chemistry but I might also hate it? (idk much about chemistry) Absolutely hate biology, medicine, and similar fields.
Awesome 😲😲🤯
10:15 the planent *titan* is a mood from saturn
I'm deaf in one ear since birth. I won't pass the medical, no matter what I do.
It makes me feel depressed knowing there are so many jobs I'd dream of doing but will never even be given the chance.
All "for my own safety". I feel like just giving up trying anymore. =(
Look up Neuralink! In the next few years there will be a fix for deafness
God has a reason .Godbless you 🙏
@@marckdavidromeroso6864 I don't believe in any god and if one does exist, i refuse to worship a deity that cursed me from the start. Do you have any idea how many jobs I've been turned away from when I tell them I have hearing loss?
I have to lie on applications just to get an interview, even in this day and age. Discrimination is rife.
@@Indoor_Carrot don't you know how blessed you are? God never cursed you. He gave you a blessing that will help you overcome challenges that even you don't think you can overcome.
@@marydion7872 dude don't be an asshole
Yes you will by connecting the dots.
I love to work with or for NASA, I'm pretty sure I pass any science tast at hand 🖐.
I have many nick names, and the one that stands out NASA knows.
So…I’ve been wanting to be an astronaut since I was 7 and now that I’m 14 I think I have a plan but I need some 2nd opinion.
After high school I will go to the Air Force Academy (or Naval), serve the committed years (I think it’s 4 active duty years) as a test pilot, then once I’m inactive, ill go to a high rated engineering school like MIT (my dream college) Caltech, GIT, etc.
Question though, in order for me to become an official Test Pilot in the Air Force, do I need to go to a test pilot school?
I am in the same position in Australia I would like to become a fighter pilot and get a degree in aeronautical engineering in the RAAF.
Ah yes, education just for the reputation of the place. Still, best of luck.
Better yet, stay in the military and have them pay for your grad school, that way it's free!
Also, to your question yes, you need to go to test pilot school. Both my parents are in the army so I can relate. I've wanted to be an astronaut since I was five and I'm 13 now.
I'm gonna do the same thing as you or ill just get an ROTC scholarship- to MIT, Harvard, or UVA
to practice science I'm part of the Science Club at my school!!
Go all the way don’t get old and regret not doing it keep pushing until your looking out the international space station down at earth study study study And never settle for less get those perfect grades

What do you mean…?
I don’t have any interest in being an astronaut let alone getting involved with NASA at all, I just had a really weird dream last night where for some reason I was training at NASA to go to space. It was like a terrible nightmare through cuz I have an irrational fear of being in space, plus I’m not even eligible to step foot inside a rocket so idk why my brain thought it would be a good idea to give me this dream 😭
It was my aim to become an astronaut when I was 8 years old and now I am 13 years old I will do it 👩🚀
OMGG I always wanted to be an astronaut at age 8 and now I’m 13 TOO!! 😭 twins

Should I want to get all the type of Msc degrees in Bio , Math, Engineering etc ?
Is height requirement still the same to be less than 5'11" ? Because all the newer seems to be more than that.
Wow!! I've been telling people that 2030 I'm going to the Mars. This is a good sign for me and my fellow astronauts who will be with me.
You're getting ahead of yourself here, buddy. I will look for your name on the astronaut list, like I can't stop laughing after reading this comment
Current cadet at USMA, this is the goal
Was that goggins?
1:13 the man behind is raja chari ,he is in the Crew 3 space mission by SpaceX which happened recently
Such skillful people with deep knowledge are being a part of Space programs all around the world, it's extraordinary. But unfortunately there are few people on Earth who still think that they're more intelligent than all these people, because they think that the Earth is flat 😂
True😆
I will do it just wait
2:19
All of them or just one?
We‘re gonna do it!
wait it will need not to breath in water to swim in 10 mins?
I will see you in the stars
See you on Mars
But as a student how can i get US citizenship?
I WILL TRY MY BEST TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT!
@Bruce Jenner??
Good luck🙏
I want it too
I'm trying really hard to get to NASA so I plan on getting a bachelors at least then I might go back to college to get a doctoret in those subjects to have a good chance of getting into NASA along with a bit of flying experience
Along with getting in better shape I also NEED to stop growing or I won't be able to get to NASA
0:35 David Goggins
what are the chances of a PhD student in stem field have compared to other fields...? so which course is most likely to give you a good possibility. since I am not a us citizen, I don't think I can have test pilot experience or us military experience. I am currently studying at niser Bs MS program India and space is my first crush since 12
I don't know how to achieve my goal.😢😢
7:09 it will need not to breath for 10 mins in water?
i would die
No
That’s not what she said
I'm gonna build my own nasa in my OWN country ethiopia I'll live doing this my entire of my life
We will make it
We got this boys stay your head up future astronauts
girls too?!
Sexist.
Sexist.
Can i apply for CSA Even if iam not a citizen of canada......??? Plzzz answer this....
I think I’d go quite insane just looking at the earth 🌏 from a space station
Yes, we will
I wish I could be a navy seal but sadly I am medically unable too and I can’t change that 😢
Sorry to hear that, dude.
I will be a pilot, engineer, and astronaut👨🚀
They conveniently left out that in the early days one also had to be male and white.
Hi
5:23 here is the great obstacle to became an astronaut :(
Let me guess your not a U.S citizen?
@@TheTallOne890 what am i gona do if im not an U.S citizen :/?
@@bajsapa3892 well actually if you live in the u.s you can try to get citizenship I hope that helps but I sadly can't do much else for ya other then hope you get lucky
@@TheTallOne890 try? How do i do it?
@@bajsapa3892 I don't know I've never had to worry about it
Do really I need too learn Russian?
Yes
I’m 13 and I’m trying Russian will be my 7th language you can do this 🤍
I’ll make it
I want to be a astronaut
Based upon what I’ve seen, I know I would be the last person NASA would pick to become an astronaut.
I will try and become an Astronaut
This is a very informative video...why is this not more viewed??
Because nobody gives a shi about NASA.
@@CharlesSmith-vk8co *says that after watching it😂
Sometimes so ppl like me wanna be astronaut but cant become bcoz of US citizen requirement may its a actual reason for that but it hurts some ppl like me in this growing age 🗿
You can get citizenship of any country if you plan to live there permanently. There are so many astronauts that weren't russian American but got through NASA by applying for citizenship. It prolly takes two years to get one, you can do your degree or training in the mean time.
@@fleurdelacour5247During getting degree we can't get US citizenship as a student
yes
I also wanted to become an astronaut but it's too hard . I bet , I can study for it but I don't think that I am that much strong to survive in space like I shivers every single time I thinks about launching in a space shuttle . But it's a bit easier to be an astronomers because astronomer can't replace a astronaut but it's the same work I like astronomer just because I love astronomy ..
Deep breaths
I will be an astronaut or astronomer or something with space
Best of luck

Currently, I am studying in grade 10 (15 years old) and I am confused about what to do to become an astronaut, the only thing I lack is U.S. Citizenship.
apply to an american college and you can wait out the time requirement while you study your degree
If I’m from uk how do I become astronaut for nasa

@ hopefully with this new moon base thing going on we’ll go there
See you the brother
You have to become a citizen of the USA, or a dual citizen. If you cannot do that you can join the European space agency
Working with nasa is a dream!
I would but motion sickness gets me hehehe I'll do art instead
I have wanted to be an astronaut unfortunately i am 6,5.
They landed on marsss
NASA makes the best lollipops !
I wanna become an astronaut and fly to another planet and be one of the first people on that planet, but due to my age, i won't be able to fly first to the mars, so my target is a moon of Jupiter
We are all aware of NASA's actual requirement:
1. Being non-white male
Should you check this box, congratulations! You're the star today’s NASA's been searching for. Forget the drab backdrop of qualifications; let's focus on the vibrant foreground of identity theatrics. Because why bother with the mundane nuances of talent or meritocracy in the quest for the cosmos, when the real priority is ensuring your personal identity aligns with the latest diversity checklist? Your propulsion into space might just depend on the genetic lottery of your birth rather than the years of sweat and dedication to astronomic excellence.
Im going to be an astronaut one day
Bet let’s go
9:45 I guess space X is the better choice
So why would someone accomplish in several Fields want to become an Astronaut? Eight.
My goal is to become the next Mexican Astronaut and inspire the following generations of Latin Americans to go to Space!

Pretty simply actually the most difficult part would be habitation because most other things are already covered especially because gravity is only Around one third of ours
