00:00:00,940 --> 00:00:03,680
NASA is hiring astronauts

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,840
You know, most of us are pretty normal
people.

3
00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:09,260
Do you have what it takes?

4
00:00:09,940 --> 00:00:13,820
Being an astronaut requires kind of a variety of skills.

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,440
The three things that it takes to be an astronaut are

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:22,180
technical skill, operational skills, and
then just being fun and easy to be around.

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,640
I would say that the number one
most important quality trait is humility.

8
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:29,740
You can't be in space and call the
plumber to fix your toilet. You can't be

9
00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:33,080
in space and call an electrician to fix
an electrical problem. If you were to

10
00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:38,340
boil it down to something simple, I would
say we're all mechanics, it's just really

11
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:39,920
really hard to get to the worksite.

12
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:44,020
It would probably not be great if you were scared of tight spaces.

13
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:45,920
Being an astronaut really takes somebody with an

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,720
explorer spirit who knows how to work
together with others.

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,140
Being an astronaut absolutely requires collaboration and being a good team player.

16
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:58,180
Honestly, it's a lot like being a good kindergartner. You just have to get along well with others

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,220
If you spill your glue, don't spill your
glue again. Just kind of learn from mistake.

18
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:04,220
NASA's newest astronauts have what it takes

19
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:05,580
Do you?

20
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:08,200
There are many of you out there that we
would love to be a part of this team.

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,240
Applications open March 2, 2020
