The Astronaut Training & Mentorship Programme (ATMP) qualifying criteria focus on those who are currently dissatisfied with life, and feel that there is little they can do to change this. A critical element hereof is the lack of work and associated income, thus rendering one completely financially dependent on family, friends and the State...
One of the great benefits of living in an increasingly virtual world (especially given the price of petrol), is that so much can be done online - the ATMP being no exception! But online does not mean alone, and so the ATMP also requires (along with the data) that you find at least 1 fellow friend or astronaut, to apply with and accompany you on your virtual journey to Planet Maturity!
The ATMP is broken down into 2 phases, with each phase's duration being dependent on each individual astronaut, and at what speed you fly and qualify. The focus of Phase 1 is an 11 (or 22) week discipleship programme. The focus of Phase 2 is getting the most out of mentorship, and acquiring a new work skill. How long these milestones take to achieve, determines programme duration.
Planet Maturity is not everyone's destination of choice, but this is almost certainly because most people are simply under resourced or ill equipped to get there. That is, one must have the necessary transport, fuel, directions and skills. Hence the ATMP comes built in with all 4 elements, so as to maximize your chances of reaching Planet Maturity, and enjoying the amazing benefits and attributes its 5 moons have to offer!
