I remember a long while back there was a discussion on how NASA selects
astronauts, etc etc... I'd like to know more. I know they divide up into
pilots and mission specialists etc, but how are they chosen... and
better yet, how does one apply? Realisticly, I know it's an amazing long
shot, but I can't think of any profession I'd prefer, and failure to at
least find out about it would be foolish.

It can't hurt.

Thanks,
