Do you have to go into space to be called an astronaut?
No, you do not have to go into "space" to be considered an astronaut. I was a test pilot for the US Air Force and received my astronaut wings by simply flying above 65,000 feet pressure altitude. That altitude is not considered "space" as it is still within the earth's atmosphere. The qualifications for receiving astronaut wings is 1) be a member of the US Armed Forces or an employee of the FAA, 2) Fly above 65,000 feet PA (it must be documented by instruments and FAA or Military radar. As far as obtaining the title of "Astronaut", you must successfully complete current training as outlined by the US Air Force and the FAA. You can be considered an astronaut by flying above a certain altitude (as I am and wear the astronaut wings), but not be allowed to use the title because you did not complete the training.
