The moment is finally here. NASA is accepting applications for aspiring astronauts.
NASA wants to send another man and the first woman to the moon by 2024. This next class of astronauts, part of the Artemis Generation, will help it get there -- and eventually to Mars -- by the mid-2030s."America is closer than any other time in history since the Apollo program to returning astronauts to the Moon," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a news release.
" Since the 1960s, 350 people have trained as astronaut candidates under NASA, the agency said. Currently, there are 48 astronauts in the active astronaut corps, but the agency said it needs more of them to help further its exploration efforts.NASA said the new astronauts could live and work aboard the International Space Station, and take part in experiments that prepare for more distant space exploration.
