Were you all chosen for this first set of launches because of your pilot and test pilot experience? What other factors contribute to this sort of selection from the larger astronaut pool?

Now that you've been selected what are the next steps?

What will your training involve, how may you be selected for a mission, and could you give us some insight into the eventual "desk work" part of being an astronaut?

Are there any theorized systems of origin for this object? What kind of distance could it cover over what sort of timescales?
