Hi, I just graduated from high school, and my lifelong dream is to become an astronaut. What do I need to do going forward, to make that happen?

What I’d suggest is that you go through all of the requirements for the astronaut program, and see if you meet them.  The requirements for the program can be found at this website:  www.nasa.gov/astronauts/  The “main” criteria are a physics degree and a pilot’s license.  Do you meet these?

Okay, that link didn't really have the information I needed, but I followed one of the other links on that page, and the requirements for becoming an astronaut are probably there, and I'll look at them later. In the meantime, what other general advice can you give me about what to do after high school, if my goal is becoming an astronaut?
