  Difficult question, at my current point in my career I have a chance to do so much I don’t think being an astronaught would make sense as a career move.
  On the other hand, If I got the opportunity to go to space i’d definitely go, the most likely route to space is probably through civilian programmes (like Virgin Galactic) that may come cheaper in a few years. The formal route I would guess be through the European Space Agency (ESA) but it’s very difficult.
