JOB OPENINGS: NASA Is Looking for Astronauts to Live and Work on the Moon.

If you feel you’re up for it, you can apply on NASA’s website. The agency said in an announcement that those who are accepted “will join NASA as America returns to the Moon, builds the Moon Base, and lays the groundwork for the first crewed missions to Mars.” They will “train to operate on the lunar surface, live and work beyond Earth, and take on missions that will push the boundaries of human exploration farther than ever before.”

Not just anyone can join. Among NASA’s many requirements are that applicants be U.S. citizens with a STEM field master’s degree, including in “engineering, biological science, physical science, or computer science from an accredited institution.” The window to join isn’t a big one; those interested have until 11:59 PM EST on December 3, 2026, to submit an application. NASA will select its new crop of space-farers in “late 2027.”

Freshen up those resumés.
