You can join the National Space Society for $20 though. Think of it as a one-time only application fee. That gets you an account as NASA FCU. I couldn't see if you actually needed an account in order to get a CC with them, so there's a chance that you could apply without having an account.
If you don't mind my asking, why do you want this card? Is it the 2% rewards, the limit, or something else?
If its the 2% rewards, you can always apply for Citi Double Cash, which has no AF. You'll probably get a lower rate than NASA, but you'll be able to get the rewards you want.
I want to have a good history with them. 10 years from now I plan to work as a software engineer for Nasa. When I was a kid I always wanted to be an astrounat. Just being a small part of Nasa would be a dream come true.
Software may not seem important but their robotic structures and many aspects of NASA require software engineering.
Its all just a dream really

Hey, no argument from me. I used to dream about being an astronaut, went to engineering school, and worked on satellite thruster brackets for SS/L. It seems to be a good card. I didn't go beyond the "setup email address/password" section, but you might be able to go further without having an account. if not, they have a list of "sister" associations. Since their recommended one (NSS) has an AF of $20, that's probably the lowest that you can find, but you only have to pay it for the first year. On the other hand, with your love of space, you might find one of which you're already a member. Additionally, there might be one that you really want to join. Good luck!
Just apply for one of their cards. YOu automatically become a member. That's what I did.

There is no membership fee for NASA FCU.

As with most FCUs, tNASA FCU isn't part of the org in its name.

They use to offer banking services exclusively to employees of NASA. It may not be part of nasa but I am a big fan of Nasa just like they are 
I was born in Houston texas and went to nasa when I was in kindergarden. One of th ebest experiences in my life..they used to let you go all the way to the launch control center area.
