Former astronaut Dr. Sally K. Ride has these
suggestions for you:
"The most important steps that I followed
were studying math and science in school. I
was always interested in physics and
astronomy and chemistry, and I continued to
study those subjects through high school and
college on into graduate school. That's what
prepared me for being an astronaut; it actually
gave me the qualifications to be selected to
be an astronaut. I think the advice that I would
give to any kids who want to be astronauts is
to make sure that they realize that NASA is
looking for people with a whole variety of
backgrounds: they are looking for medical
doctors, microbiologists, geologists,
physicists, electrical engineers. So find
something that you really like and then pursue
it as far as you can and NASA is apt to be
interested in that profession."
