So sounded the announcement issued on armytimes.com to invite the military to participate in the NASA astronaut selection held in March 2020. Space and the military have a long and storied history, with the earliest American astronauts drawn from the military because, in the pioneer era, NASA wanted people who had test pilot experience and were prepared to face dangerous situations (and because it was easier to select them). Russian cosmonaut selections followed the same paths, as did those of Chinese taikonauts later.
