My future career dream is to someday work for NASA and be involved in space research and space exploration, but I don't want to become an astronaut. Is there anyone who has worked for NASA, or are planning to, or just know a lot about it, and who could give me information on different careers that are available at NASA, other than astronauts?

Thanks in advance,
Simone

Hello,

My aunt used to work for NASA, and believe me, she wasn't an astronaut. There are loads of different possibilities - techinicians, engineers, design specialists, and they all do many different things... you could be one who helps design the space shuttle, you could be one who maintains the computer systems at NASA, you could even be the one who counts down before the takeoff! There are thousands of people who work for NASA and they do a gigantic variety of jobs there. If you want, do a search on Google, such as "NASA Careers" or something along that line. Good luck with your future endeavors!
