Dammit:<p>"Must be a US citizen – compliant with ITAR (22 CFR §120.15)"<p>I was always sad about NASA's "US Citizens Only" policy for astronauts. I had hoped that commercial spaceflight would change this, but apparently not.<p>(Not that I meet many of the <i>other</i> requirements for the job, mind you. I'm guessing most of the recruits will be former NASA astronauts, at least at first... there's enough of 'em around, and they'd be good for publicity.)

Hats off to Virgin Galactic just for using the phrase "sub-orbital commercial space tourism." It reads like science fiction.

Preference will be given to those with experience of:<p>- Spaceflight - Commercial flight operations - Flight instruction<p>Spaceflight? Not too many people have that that are American.
