Get busy. You never know if your skills here will become a major part of the NASA Astronaut application process in the future.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Sadly, and since <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5461806\/obama-cancels-kennedys-dream\">there are not going to be <i>any<\/i> NASA mission to the moon<\/a>, we know that these skills would be useless.
