Do you have what it takes to become an astronaut?

Astronauts are trained around the world in many different locations.

These include the United States, Europe, Russia and Asia.

However, unlike other careers, they do not always accept new recruits.

In the United States NASA makes announcements that applicants are wanted on an as-needed basis.

The European Space Agency hasn't been open to astronaut selection since 1992.

And even then applications were accepted for just months.

It set an all-time record in 2016 with over 18,000 people submitting applications.
