How the recruitments are done at NASA.  My dream is to associate with scientists who send rockets and satellites to the outer space.  What course should I take up in colleges?  What degree is required to get into NASA.

Study space science in IIT or MIT or some renouned institution

Actually their is groups specifically for women in engineering because there is a define need.  To get into engineering you must a basic desire to figure things outs....I know ten girls that will be graduating with me with a BS in Engineering and Physics, Mechanical Specialty.  My point is if you want to do than go for...no matter what anyone tells you...Think of it this way after you succeed at doing something no one will ever be able to say that you can't do it...because its something you have already done.

depends what field.\nBut for all fields success is a mix of factors. \nnatural ability, hard work, and luck(God's grace)\n\nI mean some people are not smart enough to be rocket scientist, some people can become one with a lot of hard work, and some people breeze through all the classes with ease. Depending on your natural ability determines how hard you have to work for the same level of success.\n\nLuck also plays in. Like if your dream is to play sports for a certain team or work for a certain company. If the person doing the recruiting went to the same college you are in you may be more likely to get the spot.

Can you think of ANY objects in space?\n\nHow do you suppose they were discovered?\n\nF'r Chrissakes, clearly this is a schoolwork question. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! IT'S SUPPOSED TO TEACH YOU, NOT YAHOO ANSWERS VOLUNTEERS, HOW TO DO RESEARCH.\n\nYeesh!

if you say the first post you wont get hired. What they are looking for is a creative envision on your future goals. Which is why you need to research into the company you are being hired for say if you work for Boeing you could say well in five years I hope to be a team leader working on a more fuel effecient lightweight aircraft or even better be a project manager that pioneers the anti missle defense system for aircraft defense. (both the above Boeing is currently working on) \n\nIn otherwords be creative but don't bs them.

an astro nut?hahaha\n\n\nhttp://spaceflight.nasa.gov/outreach/jobsinfo/astronaut.html\n - the  NASA website

well, first, NASA didn't exist immediately after WW2. it's predecessor was NACA.\n\nAre you referring to Werner Von Braun being the chief rocket expert?

Intrigue them... challenge their minds. Keep them learning and thinking. Ask each to write about what interests them, and perhaps use such as a basis for further lessons. NASA has awesome photo's and brief descriptions; history offers many heroes to inspire; art, its history, and giving them such a creative outlet may be a pleasant diversion.

Anything in the science industry. Mechanical engineering (hopefully you like math as well) and other kinds of engineering. Astronomy. Definitely astronomy. Or just stick to the pure physics and apply to grad school for it.

what the heck is a mentos rocket???  Do you put those little breath mint thingies inside a rocket and launch it?  That's weird.  Doesn't sound all that fun to me.\n\nWell, since I'm not sure what that is, I don't have any really good ideas.  \n\nBut here's some links for science fun\n\nhttp://www.funsci.com/texts/index_en.htm\n\nhttp://www.exploratorium.edu/science_explorer/

I work at NASA and help train the astronaunts.  It's not like the movies (AKA Space Cowboys).\n\nMost astronaunts are skilled professionals with multiple degrees.  They are constantly being trained for a shuttle launch.  About 4 weeks before launch, their training increases from 30-40 per/week to up to 60 depending on EVA's and stuff.

Consider an aviation program. My college roommate during my junior year was an aviation major. I haven't heard from him lately but rumor has it he is currently a pilot.

Actually what most what I'm seeing defined here is satilites, which are put into orbit around Earth, space probes are things send to explore other planets, sor ystems.  There the Voyager series, which was sent into deep space to try to attract intellegent life.  The best place for US probes would be NASA.gov, since they are the gov't body that is in charge, there's also europa.eu.int (which is the EU's body), www.nasda.go.jp (japan's), as for Russia's agency, I don't remember what it was called or is called now.  There is not as yet any private space probes that I know of, though if anyone differs, I'm interested in that as well.

what class are you taking.  You could make a model of the Earth's interior if your doing space science.  Or you could write a paper about a current event in science like stem cell research.

Well, you can find many web sites on spacecraft design, try that.  But, I can respond to one point.  A good spaceship will be a structure designed to be assembled in high orbit, and will not enter any atmosphere.  All of the structures necessary for high gravity atmospheric travel are useless dead mass when it come to space travel.  We are not quite to this point, but getting closer.  Check out the current Mission to Mars plans at the NASA website.  Three different launch vehicles.  That is the first step, how to get things into space efficiently.  If we get better at that, we will see more ambitious construction projects, like a permanent moon base, or a high orbit space station.

Study hard so you can become a NASA scientist

You need to take as many science courses as you can...\nMath is also a necessity
