Sometimes. What if I was smart and always wanted to be an astronaut but for whatever reason I didn't finish my degree and never applied to become an astronaut.
At 35 would it technically be possible for me finish my degree to apply to Space agency?
Yes but highly unlikely. But I happen to know that at least 2 first time Astronauts were in their 40s ( former Navy test pilots)
Should I start my journey to becoming an Astronaut at 35?
Is it a waste of time to begin a long journey to obtaining an advanced degree and physical training?
Some people think that the journey itself is what makes up a life, not the destination.
What if I obtain the engineering or propulsion science degree and then get hired to help design some rocket component?
You never know.
