It seems like a pretty interesting topic and I've never actually thought about it until now. Can you tell me how it takes place and what they do and what they need and all that? I really don't feel like researching in google and reading all that monotone crap.
 
Usually pilots and multiple doctorates. Survival and equipment training. Often you must speak both English and Russian. You cannot be taller that 6'0 and heavier than 180 lbs.

Basically, it's the hardest thing a person can do(other than quitting smoking). You under go all sorts of medical tests. Something as tiny as a spot on your liver can rupture in space and kill you.

Also, when you are actually aboard a space craft, something as minor as brushing a switch as you pass can kill everyone aboard.
