Some of the glorified careers we hear about as kids include firefighters who save lives, doctors who cure illnesses, and last, but not certainly not least, astronauts who venture to space.

Between 4,000 and 8,000 people apply during each round of NASA applications, but only eight to 35 are selected. And the next round is opening up soon.

Do you have what it takes to be a NASA astronaut? Take this quick quiz to see what you know.
