NASA has far more astronauts than it needs. During the Shuttle era, they had about 150 and they were busy. Today, they have about 44. A few of them get to go to the Space Station on Space-X rockets.
Right now, there are no astronauts in training, although they are starting a new group in December from people who applied early this year. Not because they need more, but because they need younger ones.
If you want to go to Mars, you're probably better off going to Space-X.
Russia is sending a film director and actress to the ISS on October 5th.
