To become an astronaut is it important to be in connection with AF like most of the astronauts are,like is it necessary to be an AF pilot?
I'm curious, do you think it's necessary to have a background in the Air Force to become an astronaut?
While many astronauts do come from a military background with experience in the Air Force, it is not a requirement to become an astronaut. NASA looks for a variety of backgrounds and skillsets in their candidates.
