Hello Bilisa Waqjira,
It's great to see that you have a clear passion and dream for your future. Here are some steps you can take to pursue your goal of becoming an astronaut or space scientist at NASA:
1. Complete your BASc Applied Physics degree with good grades, as this will help establish a strong foundation in a relevant field.
2. Try to gain experience or develop projects in your field of interest. Join any clubs, workshops or conferences related to space science and technology. This exposure will broaden your knowledge and potentially connect you with like-minded people.
3. Pursue further education in a more specialized field relevant to your dream. For example, consider pursuing a Master's or PhD in aerospace engineering, astronautical engineering, or a related field.
4. Look for internships, research opportunities or entry-level jobs within aerospace companies, research institutions or space agencies in your region or globally. These experiences will help you gain valuable experience and network with professionals in the industry.
5. Keep yourself informed and updated with the latest developments in the aerospace sector, especially NASA-related news, research, and upcoming opportunities.
6. Consider applying for the NASA International Internship (NASA I²) Program, which provides opportunities for international students to intern at various NASA centers in the United States.
