Best Answer

Stay physically fit. Study science and mathematics. Keep good grades. Learn about the Solar System. Take flying lessons.

Answer

If you are not planning on getting a B.S. (or masters or doctorate), you better start making plans to do just that. Ain't nobody with a high school diploma and nothing else getting a ride on the big candle. Consider enlisting in the military after school and getting into a flight program to be a pilot.

Bottom line is that you'll have to do very well in school, matriculate in a "hard science" that has some relevance to space, and learn to fly somehow. And establish and maintain a superb state of health along the way, both physical and mental.

Why is the sky on moon appears to be black?

Well, if the question was supposed to be "If I am on the moon, why would the sky appear to be black?" then I would respond "because there is no atmosphere or water to refelct the blueness of the ocean." Besides, how do you know its black? Are you an astronaut? If you are then I feel you would not need to ask this question on answers.com. If you are not an astronaut, which is the most likely case, then I sugest you pursue becoming one since you seem interested in it so much. Best of luck to you becoming an astronaut with the US space program (also kown as NASA) losing funding. I hope this has been helpful and that you become the best astronaut the world has ever known.
