Astronaut Career Levels
Workplace: SpaceY

Little-known fact: Space is an absolutely filthy place. When the shuttles return, guess who gets to hose them down and scrub off the gunk? <sim first name> hopes the goo is just dirt and not some incurable form of Oozing Space Measles.

Daily Task: Play Chess
Bonus: §581; Astro Solar System Light
Pension: §131/day
3) Technician
<sim first name> doesn't think of himself/herself as just a glorified mechanic. The shuttle costs billions of Simoleons, and any screw-ups would cost lives. He/She's more like a glorified engineer.
Bonus: §756; Astro Model Rocket; Point Out Constellations interaction
Pension: §166/day
4) Command Center Lead
Guiding virtual rockets into place, analyzing the movements of blinking dots on a computer screen, running simulations.... Looks like all those hours <sim first name> spent playing video games are paying off!
Bonus: §869; Star Seeker Original Blueprints; Track Satellites on the telescope
Pension: §194/day
5) Low-Orbit Specialist
Low orbit is where the real action is-satellites, space stations, space walks, daredevils attempting to break the world record for high-altitude parachuting. If something goes wrong, it's also the closest place to breathable air, while is why <sim first name> likes it.
<sim first name> was hoping that if he/she "accidentally" derailed a shuttle-board "simulation" he/she might be able to launch the shuttle and get to space...but it turns out that actual spacecraft are pretty well-secured. That's good, because <sim first name> is still learning how to space brake and star park.
This is it: Astronaut. The best of the best. The heroic few. The job kids want to be when they grow up that they still want to be as adults. <sim first name> will now go boldly into that great beyond to explore the secrets of the universe and eat weird freeze-dried ice cream.
Description: "Space is wild and unruly - a bit too unruly. Taking a post in the Planet Patrol ensures that space remains safe for future generations."
Astronaut Career Levels - Space Ranger Branch
Workplace: SpaceY
8) Planet Patrol

Bonus: §1,790; Build Your Own Rocket Kit; Space Energy drink recipe
Pension: §490/day
9) Sheriff of the Stars
This here galaxy's <sim first name>'s jurisdiction now. Even-handed with the punishment and generous with the attitude, he/she don't take no nonsense from alien punks, no matter now [sic] many tentacles or ocular cavities or rows of teeth they have. Also, he/she gets to talk like a sheriff!

Astronaut Career Levels - Interstellar Smuggler Branch
Workplace: SpaceY
8) Moon Mercenary
Any ranger who's quick with a laser can make more Simoleons in private security than serving the public good. <sim first name> protects galactic warlords, exterminates cabals of tribal terrorists, and helps corrupt governments maintain plausible deniability.
Bonus: §1,790; The Monolith; Alien Juice drink recipe
Pension: Unknown
9) Alien Goods Trader
Want the horn of an endangered zygax? How about a quilt handmade from 2,000 tiny Q505Bs? Maybe just a few Gibsonian chill-out pods for the big party next weekend? <sim first name> doesn't ask questions. He/She just makes it happen.

10) Interstellar Smuggler
