Astronauts: Toughest Job In The Universe
Space is the ultimate destination. But life there requires extraordinary ability. Millions dream of becoming astronauts. Few make it a reality. So, what happens when you take 12 people at the pinnacle of their professions, and put them through the gruelling process of astronaut selection? As the candidates push themselves to the limit, they’re assessed by a doctor, a psychologist, and an experienced astronaut. If they don’t make the grade, they’re asked to leave. Who will have what it takes to attempt the toughest job in the universe?

This is actually similar to the training that offshore crew has to undergo, we called it bosiet training.. didn’t know they do the same for astronaut. The training prepare us in case of helicopter ditch into water

They make it so difficult to watch the full episodes of this show. I can't find anywhere to stream it or purchase in the US.

I guess for the average person who isn't afraid of water, this is not that bad.

We don't need astronauts like that.

So the "brutal exercise" was to hold her breath for a few seconds? Oh and to open a door too!. Wow, that's astonishing.
