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.

What were the improvements made to the space shuttle program as a result of the Columbia disaster?

Because this disaster was caused by the foam on the tank, more attention is paid to the launch and more cameras and more angles are used to make sure that no foam comes off and damages the shuttle. Much more attention was paid to the integrity of the tiles on the exterior. A second arm was added that has enhanced TV cameras and a laser scanner on the end (this arm is not flexible as the other one is); it is called the OBSS. It is grappled at the end of the shuttle's RMS arm and moved around the shuttle to take detailed video of all of the tiles. Before the shuttle docks they would also flip the shuttle over and over while people on the ISS took pictures for NASA to look at before they re-enter.
