first you need your ppl,and then instrument and muti engine time,instructor and test pilot ratings type rating in varios piston and jet engine aircraft,airobatic time wont hurt,then apply for and get accepted into,whoops,a couple of masters degrees a phd ,and then reapply,get accep ted into thd space program,do timd in varios 0 g training and then,they will show you a space suit,not of course an active duty suit,which is custom made to fit....

I'm torn between two responses:

#1 - "So you're saying there's a chance!?"

#2 - something something "the right stuff"

more like ,the full procedure is going to be precise and getting actualy qualified to put on a apollo(any) space suit in zero g and use it in a vacume is then going to be totaly something else with doing it in moon gravity a different procedure, any 1 g experience would be training only and I think that they tried and failed to get some of this accross when space x ran the "polor dawn" mission, which included the first private ,semi extra vehicular operation,ever.the data from that paid for the whole mission,easy actual mission qualified zero g vacume suits are an exceptionaly rare item
