      Generally yes. When I’ve worked with NASA its only been for small projects where I only need to visit the USA.

      But what do you want to do? If you want to be a space scientist or an astronaut, then you could work for ESA instead. And then you can stay in Europe.

      To work for NASA you would have to work at one of NASA’s research departments in the USA – but this can be a great opportunity to live and work in a foreign country! I lived in the USA for 5 years and really enjoyed it!
