What's the next step to NASA?

**Background**: 4 years ago I started cs and physics dual degree program at the top rated university in my country and I'm about to get into my last year. After graduating I'm planning to get into masters program which I hope will eventually land a job in nasa. Also now I'm looking forward to make an internship this summer. My main goal is to work in space industry like it could be programming rovers, space rockets, satellites, systems that used by vehicles, space telescopes, etc. And I always had a passion to program physical things rather regular SWE, especially with c/c++. Not to mention embedded systems. What should be my next steps? Should I pursue my masters in computer science like AI or physics like nano-tech? Maybe something related to EE? And how can I get the most out of an internship? Last but not least how should I spend my last year in uni in terms of projects, what kind of projects I should be involved in?

What would be the requiremnts for a space-based interferometer to image an Earth-like planed with 10 pixels (at the equator) and 50 light years distance?

Wondering what would be the baseline (distance), aperture (size) for a 3 telescope, in-space, telescope for this level of resolution. Does anyone have an open sourced tool that can calculate those parameters?

Balancing internship with college classes

Anyone care to share their experience balancing college courses with a NASA internship during the fall or spring? Did you feel overworked or was it manageable? I'd like to apply for the spring or fall but I do not want to end up in a position where I have too much on my plate. thanks

The yellowish discolouration of the water around the island is due to volcanic minerals, gas and seafloor sediment that is being stirred up by the volcanic activity.

This is at the Perkins Telescope Observatory near Flagstaff, AZ for anyone wondering.

How many People

From the beginning Adam and Eve up until now how many people lived on earth? What's the total number of humans. Any idea anyone?
