But getting to space is not an easy task nor a matter of luck, the few chosen ones work extremely hard in order to see their wish fulfilled. Astronauts are required to prepare for years before they even get the chance to go to space. They have to undergo a great deal of rigorous tests and extreme training (which very few are able to complete) and must exercise both physically and psychologically before taking off into the deep and intriguing cosmos. It's incredible how much they have to overcome in order to have the opportunity to dedicate themselves to their great passion, to travel through space. The most surprising thing is that these people never stop facing challenges. Once they get on the ship and set off for their destination, the real difficulties and adventure begins. In order to bring you a little closer to the mysteries of astronauts' day-to-day life, we have prepared this photo gallery with interesting facts and historical data about this surprising profession.
