    To become an astronaut, you have to get these basic requirements-
    Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in engineering, biological science, physical science, or mathematics.
    At least 1,000 hours pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. Flight test experience is highly desirable.
    Ability to pass a NASA space physical which is similar to a military or civilian flight physical and includes the following specific standards -
    Distant visual acuity- 20/100 or better uncorrected, correctable to 20/20 each eye.
    Blood pressure- 140/90 measured in a sitting position.
    Height between 62 and 75 inches.
