Astronauts Response

After looking over one blog on Astronauts, I knew this guy made an excellent point on that topic. It's like he mentioned earlier, tens of thousands of people dream of going up in space yet only a few are chosen. Sometimes, a person will train from ten to even twenty years and still won't go up there. Because let me tell you something, an Astronaut's job is more than just walking on the moon.
If you really want to be an Astronaut, you have to be prepared both mentally and physically. Astronauts are always in training for these deep space missions. At one point, Astronauts take their training in the water because that's what it feels like in Space. Those space suits they put on are extremely heavy, very hard to walk. You have to have the strength just to walk on the moon. You think what Neil Armstrong did was easy, you have no idea.
Not to mention, Astronauts are always repairing satellites just for our benefits. One fatal mistake could ultimately cut us off from communication of all sorts. Astronauts will even build bigger space centers in space so we can find a way to study about our solar system and beyond. If someone cuts a scratch in their suit or if they visor is cracked, those astronauts are as good as gone. They have to always be ready for such a calamity, so NASA doesn't hire just anybody.
An Astronauts life is hard unless you really want to prove that you are dedicated enough to take those risks. But let me just be the next to tell you, space is no walk in the park. You must be in top physical condition to walk around in those space suits and you must always be in constant focus especially on space missions. An astronaut must always be prepared, especially if they are coming back to Earth and their ship might explode. There's no proof that states you can make it as an Astronaut unscathed. But if you have the heart and the tenacity to go through these missions and training, then may god be with you. The greatest mission of your life begins the moment you are strapped into that rocket.
