Wanna Become a Cosmonaut? Your Dream May Come True

Becoming an astronaut seems very unrealistic. But nothing is impossible to a willing heart! Of course, it doesn't just happen overnight: it takes many years of training and experience, as well as excellent health and unshakable will. But if you meet the requirements, why not try and get this dream job?

Russia's Space Agency Roskosmos is holding a recruitment event for future space missions. As there is no regular school for astronauts in Russia, the only way to get into space is to participate in Roskosmos' competition. Such contests have been held only 17 times since 1960, and civilians were allowed to participate in them only twice, in 2012 and in 2017.
