Britain's Prince Harry 'Obsessed with Space': Wants to be a NASA Astronaut

Prince Harry wants to be a NASA astronaut?

A recent report from The Sun suggests that Prince Harry of the British Royal family wants to go to space and even wants to enter NASA training.

The army pilot Harry is a closet Star Trek fan and “obsessed with space,” friends say.

He has already asked Sir Richard Branson’s son for a seat on one of the Virgin Galactic sub-orbital flights.

He hopes to become an honorary member of the elite U.S. space programme after returning from Afghanistan next year.

"Harry has already completed his studies of Land and Sea Surveillance and Oceanology - part of Astro training - and can't wait to get into one of NASA's T38 training jets.

"It's his dream to be the first Royal in space,” a Royal source told The Sun.

Harry is a Trekkie and has a craving desire to get into space. “His service with the Army Air Corps has been exemplary, which puts him in good stead. There's no chance of him walking on the Moon, but he wants to train with NASA - and is determined to get on a Virgin Galactic flight,” sources report.
