Just because you don't work for NASA doesn't mean you'll never make it as an astronaut.In the world of private space tourism，a little training could be all that you need.And there's an app for that.
Space Nation，a space tourism company，recently put its app Space Nation Navigator on the market.The app aims to train future space travelers using games，quizzes，and fitness challenges that fall into three groups：“body”，“mind”，and“social”．
Each of the challenges is designed to help you develop the skills you'd need to survive in space.One question is called“Did you clean behind the fridge？”and is designed to stress the unpleasant chores astronauts have to do to keep things tidy.There are“survival” quizzes that test your knowledge of how to properly build a fire or read a map.The app also helps you take some athletic challenges，like a running race designed to train you to escape a meteor (流星)zone.
“Space Nation Navigator offers a way for anyone，anywhere to have a 15minute astronaut experience every day.These astronaut skills—team building，problem solving and positive life lessons—are not only important for the survival in space，”Space Nation CEO Kale said，“but they are also crucial in your daily life.”
New challenges are added to your list every few hours，and you can compete against other users for high scores.If you get enough points，you can become qualified (有资格的)for reallife training experiences with Space Nation.In 2019，Space Nation plans to hold an international competition to find one astronaut that the program will send to space.
