Astronaut : "What are the chances?"

What are the chances of me getting into a good university? Not great... What are the chances of someone getting a job at NASA? Extremely slight. Everything I've seen on here seems so basic, like nobody bothers to be informed, even the older people, not just the kids. I see "NASA" in every post, but nobody has EVER mentionned the ESA or FKA/RKA or JAXA or the SSO or CNES! It seems like NOBODY knows that you have a better chance at such a job if you apply in your own country. People always hear "NASA this and NASA that" on TV, but think of ISS, there are people from all agencies up there. Don't think that NASA is better because it is bigger/richer/more popular. Maybe you should rethink your "dream" if you aren't even bothered to learn about it properly or make sure you've checked ALL your options before asking if NASA is a good place. I'm 14, but I probably know my chances and the way to get there better than most people I have seen posting on here. LEARN!!

Quelles sont mes chances d'entrer dans une bonne université? pas très bonnes. Quelle est la probablilité que quelqu'un décroche un emploi a NASA? Très petite. Tous ce que j'ai vu ici est tellement basique, c'est comme si personne veut s'informer sur ce sujet, même les plus vieux, pas que les gamins comme moi vous direz. Je voit "NASA" partout, mais personne ne parle de la ESA ou FKA/RKA ou JAXA ou la SSO ou du CNES! C'est comme si tout le monde croit qu'ils auront une meilleure chance de décrocher un job chez NASA que dans l'agence spatiale de leur propre pays! On entends toujours "NASA ça, NASA ci" a la TV, mais pensez a la station internationale, il y a des astronautes/cosmonautes de toutes les agences la haut. Il ne faut pas croire que NASA est mieux parce-que elle est l'agence la plus grande/riche/populaire. Peut-etre vous devez reflechir un peu a votre "rêve" de devenir un homme/femme de l'espace! On dirait une bande d'incultes, vraimment, comme ci NASA était le seul éspoir dans vos vies. J'ai 14 ans, mais je pense que je connait mieux le systeme que plus de la moitié des gens ici. RETOURNEZ A VOS ETUDES!!!

I'm sorry, I realise that this is not a professional forum but it would be nice if people knew what they were talking about, not just saying this because it sounds "cool".

Pardon, je sait que ceci n'est pas un forum professionnel mais ce serait sympa que les gens sachent de quoi ils parlent ici, et qu'ils ne le disent pas just pour parraitre "cool".

Thoughts? Votre avis?

That is what I was thinking when I read the comments.. These kids need to be sure they want to become astronauts before they post some random comment. I'm 16 and I have done my research... I am soon going to learn how to fly an aeroplane and am working on my associates in high school. Although my chances are slim, I am going to apply for Rensler Aeronautical university next year, and I'm very sure I'll get accepted, since I have been receiveing a lot of mail from them directed to me asking me to apply there... They (the iniversity itsfel) want me to apply! I'm very excited and am doing everything possible to be an astronoaut after researching about it.
