How many people here want to be real astronauts when they grow up?

I used to really want to become one, but then I wasted too much time, drank too much and became too old. They call it uni.

Still really want to go into space, but it\'s not going to be my profession I don\'t think. I\'ll have to become rich which I\'m trying at nowadays

I sure as hell want to, but I don\'t know if I can. I\'ve heard that I can\'t become many things because I have glasses, and I don\'t

know if being an astronaut is one.

You can be an astronaut with glasses. As long as it\'s correctable vision impairment. When I first heard that, I was like, 'Yes! I CAN be an astronaut!'

This has been my dream since I was very young, and I\'m certainly on the right track to become one!

Lucky son of a gun. I\'m 15 right now and I really want to be. My plan is to get a BSc or PHD in Astrophysics or advanced engineering so that I will be educationally qualified to flight into space. Physically, I\'m sure I\'m fine.

It be cool and all but I have my sights set on becoming an engineer so I could make the craft instead.

I think you can do both. Engineering is one of the qualified degrees to be an astronaut. Might be smart to first go into working on spacecraft and then become an astronaut.

Oh and yes, you face will be remove and then i will mash it into a face cream.

I\'m 15. I\'m three years ahead of you. So... I might beat you to becoming an astronaut. If you\'re going to NASA, you\'ll never walk on Mars. If you\'re going to SpaceX, like me, you\'ll have a much better shot.

I\'ve always been one to catastrophize (look at the worst possible outcome as the likely one), as well as a down-to-earth person, so manned space exploration will likely not be needed in my time (we\'ve got the Moon, but we\'re still checking Mars), I\'m in no physical or mental shape for it, and it\'s just damn cruel. I mean, most of my family went through 5-8 years of undergrad and honours, but the amount of time it takes to become an astronaut is insane. Though it\'s likely a childhood obsessive at its roots, engineering looks like an interesting job. (I hate law, so no lawyer, I\'m hemophobic so no doctor (no relation to hemophilia), though psych isn\'t out of the question, but engineering seems like a fair enough mix of brains and work, without having gruelling lectures (lots of hands-on; you can\'t really do that in aeronautics), and it pays well (which is all my annoying grandmother cares about).

Too many G\'s for me. Rather have my hands on building the things. But, if there was ever a volentary mission to mars, well, I would be the first on that.

Not really... Seems riddled with danger - and space doesn\'t interest me too much either.

Space marines! Today the enemy is at our door! We know our duty and we will do it. We fight for our honour as Blood ravens, as space marines, and we fight in the name of the emperor!
