NASA is now accepting applications for a new class of astronauts, who will be a part of the agency's lunar exploration efforts.

今日の英語の習慣化の題材は、NASAのAstronauts（宇宙飛行士）募集の記事から…

日本の宇宙飛行士とは違って、正真正銘の宇宙飛行士ですからね。日本の宇宙飛行士はMission Specialist（研究者系）でちょっと私の見解では違っていますので…

まぁ、AmericaのAstronautsですので、外国人は応募できないのですが…

あくまでも英語のお勉強ですからね。

(CNN)The moment is finally here. NASA is accepting applications for aspiring astronauts.

NASA wants to send another man and the first woman to the moon by 2024. This next class of astronauts, part of the Artemis Generation, will help it get there -- and eventually to Mars -- by the mid-2030s.
"America is closer than any other time in history since the Apollo program to returning astronauts to the Moon," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a news release. "We will send the first woman and next man to the lunar South Pole by 2024, and we need more astronauts to follow suit on the moon, and then Mars."
Before you get lost in visions of yourself floating in space, keep in mind that the competition is stiff. The last time that NASA took applications for new astronauts in 2015, a record-breaking 18,300 people applied.
Eleven were selected.
