– of course, the International Space Station is just that, international, meaning astronauts from Canada, Japan, Russia, the US, the UK, and many European regions have space in the program. While astronauts might not speak every language, the main language spoken on the ISS is English, and sometimes Russian. Of course, not every space cadet will speak these languages depending on their country of origin, and so learning this is important.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDoes this include the recently formed \u201cSpace Force\u201d?<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n
The Space Force is a recently formed and small branch of the United States Air Force, designed to enhance space security and combat power projection as a pre-emptive effort. It boasts less than 9,000 members. Its goal is to \u201cprovide freedom of operation for the United States in, from, and to space.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
As such, this is a military branch and independent from the public space agencies such as NASA, even though the two are known to liaise.<\/span><\/p>\n
Could you be the next space cadet recruit? If so, we hope this information has helped.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
To become accepted for the space cadet training programs for prestigious space agencies like NASA, or private companies like SpaceX or Blue Origin is no easy task. Each year the cadet programs gain tens of thousands of applications, which sometimes have to be whittled down to less than a dozen. Often, astronauts are highly accredited technical specialists with degrees in fields such as aeronautics, rocket science, mathematics, the various sciences, and more. In many cases, master’s or even doctorates are specific necessities depending on the role at hand.\u00a0Space cadets are also expected to have the ability to stay calm under pressure, strong problem-solving skills, high levels of physical fitness, no medical concerns (within reasons), and high levels of emotional durability and mental endurance.\u00a0 Space cadet training programs are often designed with the same stringent standards you\u2019d expect to find in military programs. After all, these cadets will one day willingly go into arguably the harshest professional environment anyone could occupy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\nSpace Cadet Training Is For Real!
