A record number people have applied to NASA to be part its astronaut training program. NASA said it received 18,300 applications just 14 jobs. This is a record the administration. Human resources officials NASA will now spend the next 18 months looking the applications to select the best ones. It plans to announce the successful applicants the middle of 2017. Brian Kelly of NASA said it would be a lot work. He added: "It's heartening to know so many people recognize what a great opportunity this is to be part NASA's exciting mission. I look forward to meeting the men and women talented enough to rise the top of what is always a pool incredible applicants."

It seems there is a great desire to work America's space program and perhaps go Mars. NASA's Charlie Bolden said: "It's not all surprising to me that so many Americans from diverse backgrounds want to personally contribute to blazing the trail our journey to Mars." The top applicants will have an interview the Johnson Space Center Houston, Texas. The chosen candidates will then get two years initial training. They will learn skills such as spacewalking, teamwork and operating spacecraft systems, and learn Russian. After that, they could go to the International Space Station or work companies making spacecraft tourists, such as Boeing and SpaceX.
