Statistically, military route is the best way (6 out of the last 8 were officers in the military).

There are several reasons for why this is the case: Teamwork, Discipline, Physical Fitness, Flight Experience, Academic Preparation

Yeah that is me. You should follow me so we could discuss more.

I'm currently a student at Rice University and am enrolled in ROTC but I am strongly considering transferring to the AF Academy (easier to get pilot slot plus they exclusively have what is in my opinion the coolest major: Astronautical engineering)

Now that we have several launch vehicles available, how will the pace of ISS operations change? What does NASA and the international community have in mind with the increased capability? How many more astronauts will we have in space now at any given time?

  3. What are some major improvements to Orion in comparison to Apollo?
