Preparation to go into space begins at school. All astronauts take science courses through high school and go to college to take science or engineering. Some are in the military. Many also have pilot's licenses and Scuba diving experience.
Once they are selected, astronauts begin a training program that includes courses in astronomy, the space shuttle, space history, and experiments. Not everyone who is trained goes into space because NASA wants the "best of the best" - meaning the best people of all the people qualified to go into space. Also, there is a large lineup for flights, meaning it could be years before a space opens up.
When astronauts do go into space, they perform experiments. Most shuttle flights now go to the International Space Station, which is under construction, and astronauts will often go outside to put solar panels and supports on to the station. Their schedule is set out months before the flight so they know exactly what to do each minute they are in space.

∙ 9y agoThat depends on which astronaut it is. After eating a traditional pre-flight breakfast, the prime crew (those who actually fly the mission) are evaluated by medical personnel and equipped with sensors that measure their heartrate, temperature and blood pressure before putting on their pressure suits. While they are doing that, the backup crew is busy inside the spacecraft making sure all the switches are set properly for the launch. After the flight crew arrives and are strapped into their seats, they begin a final checkout of the entire vehicle before the launch, including double checking switch positions. There is no room for error in a manned rocket.
