To become an astronaut is extremely not easy.

The universe is an interesting mysterious world, but also full of dangers. Therefore, to go into space, astronauts have to go through a very complicated process of selection and training, which, if told, will surely make you feel overwhelmed.

NASA - America's number one astronaut training center in the world is promoting the search for potential candidates for a new generation of young and enthusiastic astronauts to be ready to participate in missions that bring humans to life. to the moon, Mars and possibly planets beyond.

So what criteria must be met to become a "standard" astronaut? Recently, on MXH appeared a video about a test to become a NASA astronaut. And of course, just looking at it, you can see that these are not simple requests but just "stunned" and extremely dizzy.

It is known in the video that there is a test in which candidates are required to undergo the process of simulating zero gravity on a special rotating circle. The model will move in a continuous parabolic trajectory with increasing speed, causing zero gravity for about 20 seconds.

If you are a normal person, surely "drunk", vomiting is inevitable. Yet every day, candidates have to practice this exercise 40 times.

Hearing this, everyone must be alarmed, but each country has certain health requirements for its astronauts, but the common point is that they must all be in very good physical condition. The more important factor is the ability to withstand the feeling of dizziness that comes from the zero gravity environment.

The pre-qualification requirements are really not too strict.

The pre-qualification requirements are really not too strict. Candidates only need to reach a height of over 1.47m, have good eyesight and stable blood pressure. There is no age limit on the profession of astronauts, although the majority of people enrolled in this profession are between the ages of 25 and 46.

However, at the moment, the requirements for astronauts also involve social skills. They must not only have good health, but also know how to work with others, be confident, and be able to work well under pressure in a multitasking environment.

Before being assigned to the task, they will have to practice making public presentations, working with experts and even interacting with government officials. This can help astronauts learn how to work effectively with the many different types of people in life.

Below the video, many people have lamented the nature of the work of NASA astronauts:

- If I sit on this chair, I'm sure I won't be able to breathe, I'm scared to look at it.

- Want to sign out of Earth too!

- In general, it is difficult for anyone to get used to it, but it is difficult for ordinary people!

Astronaut sounds like a very interesting job, but in reality it also requires a high level of knowledge, skills as well as physical fitness to complete the mission. Only then will we discover the cosmic mysteries that humans have always been searching for.
