The last time a human has landed on the moon was in 1971. Since no NASA astronauts have landed on anything from that day on, astronauts are mostly carried by a space craft throughout their journey.
NASA occasionally sends out space probes instead of humans because astronauts could not survive on some of the places that space probes are sent to.
The CSA (Canadian Space Agency) is Canada's national space agency, and is tasked with training of Canadian astronauts, maintenance of the Canadarm on the ISS and the RADARSAT system, and maintaining Canada's place as a leader in space technology. NASA is an agency of the American government and has no jurisdiction in Canada.

Military astronauts get paid their standard military pay. They are on loan from their service branch to NASA. Most choose to remain with their military bnranch throughout their NASA career. Civilian astronauts get paid on a Civil Service pay scale. Again, it's not much, they they get benefits to make up for the lack of pay.
2020 they want to send astronauts to the moon. Before that they are sending robots to the moon. NASA wants too have a moon base by 2024 so astronauts could stay there for as long as 6 months. They hope routine missions will happen some where around 2050 are even before. Right now they are finding new ways to survive on the moon. Finding ways to be self sufficient instead relying on earth to give the moon base resources. They have thought of several ways to to produce air. But they also need to have water and food. Well we have found ice on the moon and recently found more then we new about. So that looks good gradation will be a problem but where finding ways to solve that to. After the moon the next step will most likely be Mars. Space travel needs money and good technology. So if we invest more money in space travel we will get more space travel and if NASA finds better and finds cheaper ways to build spacecrafts will have more space travel to.
The Gemini capsules were designed to hold 2 Astronauts, and each mission carried 2.
NASA explores space by launching space rockets with famous astronauts in them
Yes, because the space shuttle was NASA's space transportation system. It carried astronauts and cargo to and from Earth orbit. The space shuttle carried as many as seven astronauts at a time to and from space. It launched satellites and served as an orbiting science laboratory.
Astronauts aboard the space shuttle were primarily NASA astronauts, astronauts from Canada, Europe and other countries.

Cape Canaveral, Florida
NASA in 1960 to know about the health of their astronauts on space mission.
because they don't have enough money
so astronauts don't get bored in space they will be active and will be moving around.
