Mikesauce, I'm not sure what your response has to do with tsunamis, but I'll do my best to answer your question anyway.

NASA only has open calls for astronauts every few years. You just missed the last deadline, which was 1 July 2008. I'm not sure when the next class of astronauts will be announced, but it'll probably be at least two years.

Applications are through http://www.usajobs.gov , and they consist of a resume, medical history form(s), and a reference form. There is a good website for astronaut hopefuls http://www.ashos.org which has some example forms from how NASA used to do its application process in tne 1980s-1990s.

Not sure how my original got screwed up, but I get asked questions too. "Any earthquakes today?" "When's the next big one?"

Do you work with the Hawaii infrasound Lab much? I've got a friend who works there, David Fee. He worked woth me at NEIC for a bit until he graduated from U of WY in '04.
