How do you enter in NASA as pilot?
NASA doesn't normally have its own pilots - they're military pilots (usually former test pilots) who are assigned to NASA operations. It's common for NASA to use personnel from other agencies like DoD - I myself was a DoD Inspector assigned to NASA operations for 9 years.When you see chase planes escorting a Shuttle during landing or patrolling an area during launch, they're from the local military bases in the area (Cape Canaveral Air Station next to KSC, Edwards AFB, etc.). NASA does use helo and camera jet pilots for local security, but they don't have that many.For the Astronaut program, being a Test Pilot is the only way to go, and even then you're not a NASA employee - you're still a DoD employee assigned to NASA.

What is a military astronaut?
The Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo astronauts were all military test pilots. With a few rare exceptions, (Neil Armstrong for one) the astronauts were on loan from their military branch to NASA. They weren't paid by NASA, the were paid by their branch of service. The Shuttle astronauts are a little different. The pilots are still former military test pilots, but the mission specialists come mostly from the science community. The mission specialists are paid directly by NASA while the vast majority of pilots remain part of the military.
