Fun Space Fact: Being an astronaut takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and training. How do you become an astronaut? In order to be an astronaut, people must go through a competitive selection process. In 2021, 12,000 people applied, and only 10 were accepted. What are the requirements? Basic requirements, according to NASA, include US citizenship and a master's degree in a STEM field, like engineering, biological science, or computer science. Astronauts must be in good shape and able to pass NASA's demanding physical exams.
