Sami Raines, Astronaut candidate
You cannot just aim to be an astronaut. To be considered, you have to be good at something first. You need to excel in a career on Earth before pursuing a second in space.
One candidate’s journey began as a child looking up at the stars in a small town in rural Australia. A love of computer games then led to a career in cutting-edge engineering.
Now having completed a second round of astronaut training, the dream is close to becoming reality.
