How long do you have to study to become an astronaut? A: NASA requires its mission specialists and its commander and pilot astronauts to have bachelor's degrees in biological science, physical science, mathematics or engineering; most people take four years to earn these degrees.
The astronauts will complete eight years of training. According to the Mars One website, candidates will be isolated from the world for a few months every two years in groups of four in simulation facilities, to test how they respond to living in close quarter with just three other people.
