Canada needs astronauts

Post by SpaceCanada »

The official call went out yesterday - the Canadian Space Agency is hiring astronauts. Those who meet qualifications should apply. See the CSA website for details

Oh, I really wish I stayed at university instead of transferring to technical school. I wanted to get a degree, for this opportunity alone, but I couldn't torture myself beyond that first year. Oh well... I hope some deserving Canadians get the job.

If it was in 3 years I would totally apply (although not get in but it would still be cool)
