Houston, TX -- A hundred men and women will have reason to be starstruck later today (May 6) -- they're about to become astronauts.

NASA will announce its 2004 astronaut class at Johnson Space Center in Houston and only 100 out of the applicant pool of 2,500 will go for further space training.

Health psychologist Daniel Orme -- who analyzed the astronaut applicants -- says they all have advanced degrees and hold patents or have written books.

The tests were even more rigorous than the ones used by Donald Trump on "The Apprentice" and the chosen 100 could probably hold their own on that reality show, or anywhere else.

But success isn't the only criteria for astronauts -- attitude is everything. Orme says the top space cadets need to be able to stay cooped in cramped spaces for long periods of time away from loved ones.
