You don’t get to hear this often: not only does a job opening exist, but it’s for perhaps the coolest job any human can or ever will have: exploring space. NASA’s opening its next astronaut class, live, right here.

The new recruits, should you be selected to represent our species in the vacuum, will work on the ISS, as well as “missions of exploration far away from our planet.” Mars! Of course, money’s a little tight right now, so don’t expect to breeze by Phobos anytime soon, but this is a rare opportunity to be what you always wanted to be as a little kid. Watch the stream, get that resume in shape, make sure you can crank out some push-ups, and dream about space with us. [NASA]
