It's something I've always thought would be cool, but I'm a little hesitant about NASA's future these days. I have the educational background to be a mission specialist, I would just need the work experience. At this point in my career/education I'm kind of at a cross-roads where I need to decide if I want to move more toward management type work or stick with more of the dedicated engineering type work. Ideally I'd like to do sometype of management in the space systems field which would lend itself to being an astronaut, but realistically I'll end up in some type of commercial aviation which would quash that. I'm mostly just thinking out loud, but any opinions? Astronaut just doesn't seem like as good of a job as it used to be.
