Astronauts 4 Hire
One private outfit, Astronauts 4 Hire, is offering all the training to become an astronaut in the hopes that a government agency will hire them to go to space. The non-profit corporation will teach you how to do scientific research in orbit and perform an emergency evacuation from a distressed spaceship. The first class of the company’s astronauts was inaugurated in 2011, but so far none of them appear to have flown in space. They did however test and produce a beer designed to be drunk in space.
Odds of becoming an astronaut this way: Unknown*
The odds that this company will take your money for their training program look good, though it’s unclear exactly how much astronauting you would ever do.
