People ask me all the time what astronaut training actually looks like day to day. So here's a sample week. Every week is different — some weeks are heavy on sims, others on EVA prep or vehicle training. But this gives you a feel for the range: spacewalk practice, emergency scenarios, robotic arm ops, medical codes, jet flying, even Russian language. No two days are the same. And that's what makes this job incredible.










On March 3, 1969, NASA launched the Apollo 9 mission featuring the first crewed flight of the Apollo lunar module. It was a vital step in preparation for Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's lunar landing that July. With a similar mission profile, Artemis III will test next-generation hardware and processes in low-Earth orbit in 2027 for the return of astronauts to the Moon in 2028.
