Prince Harry of Great Britain intends to become the first member of the Royal family go into space. He reserved a seat on one of the first Virgin Galactic sub-orbital flights.
As an army pilot, the 26 years old Harry has chances to see his dream fulfilled if he aquires at least 1,000 hours of advanced jet engine flight time and test flight experience to be considered by NASA. He also needs a degree in engineering, bio science, physical science or maths and complete the special NASA training in Houston, Texas that includes scuba microgravity, that is performing tasks underwater in space suits for up to four hours at a time, endure extreme G-Force in a gyroscope, and work in a pressurised chamber, simulating space problems such as muscle wastage.
