I would think that depends on what you are going to do at NASA.

NASA needs people to answer the phones. I imagine that that these people don't need very much knowledge of math or physics. They also need HR people, and the standard computer people to install windows and people to design the graphic logos et. etc. etc. All of these are typical jobs that don't require much special knowledge.

On the other hand, if you are designing experiments, analyzing data or running spacecraft, you need a whole lot of specialized knowledge.

But someone needs to clean those great big cool-looking glass screens that NASA builds and runs. This important task doesn't require any more than a high school education.

So to answer your general question. You don't need much knowldge at all to work at NASA.

For a permanent job of that sort, you would probably need at least a bachelor's degree in physics or engineering. You would also need to move to one of their locations.

ok
I know that working in such fields requires a lot of education and selecting the right major but I was just curious.
