Remember: working directly for NASA means working for the gonvernment,
which means taking and passing the civil servant exam (or at least, so
I am led to believe). Also, being a full-time astronaut means working
for NASA, therefore....
I believe that the exam doesn't apply to technical jobs, but rather to
"general" positions--at any rate, NASA engineers and programmers don't
take it.
Actually, I think that the civil service exam is no longer used any where,
but I could be wrong.
Also, military astronauts don't work _for_ NASA, they work _at_ NASA.
