    Astronauts wanted - seriously!

    Sadly - this years deadline just went, but I know there's a few flyboys on here and who knows - this literally could be your ticket to the stars.

    July 1 is deadline to apply for NASA's 2009 astronaut class

    Mark Matthew - Orlando Sentinel

    Need a new job? Aren't afraid of heights (or zero gravity)? Then you have one day left to fill out an application to become a member of NASA's next astronaut corps.

    According to NASA, here's what you need to stand a chance:
    "To be considered, a bachelor's degree in engineering, science or math and three years of relevant professional experience are required. Typically, successful applicants have significant qualifications in engineering or science, or extensive experience flying high-performance jet aircraft.

    Teaching experience, including work at the kindergarten through 12th grade level, is considered qualifying. Educators with the appropriate educational background are encouraged to apply."

    I'll leave this in your capable hands (whoever you may be)

    Awesome, too bad I'm afraid of heights...
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    they should be taking in firemen and mechanics, instead of scientists and teachers.
