Do you need better work stories? Then maybe a job as the world's first pilot-astronaut is for you.
Virgin Galactic has launched its search for pilot-astronauts to work
at the world's first private spaceline. The firm, a subsidiary of
Virgin Group, will recruit people to deliver a "sub-orbital spaceflight
service to Virgin Galactic Customer-Astronauts" with uncompromised
comfort.
The job description said all candidates must be citizens of the

"[Virgin Galactic] is dedicated to becoming a world leader in
sub-orbital commercial space tourism with a longer term vision to
develop other space technologies that have the potential to open space
to significantly more people and users.
"Company objectives in the lead up to commercial operations are to
confirm that the spaceflight system meets Virgin Galactic's exacting
standards, and to set up an operational base at Spaceport America in New
Mexico."
