I'm currently an Asternaut. Is the next rank an Ensign? How many posts do I need for that?

Asternaut is not misspelled -- it is the diminutive of the word astronaut.

After 10 posts, an asternaut is elevated to become (also) an Ensign, and after 100 posts, a Science Officer.
At 500 posts, an asternaut is judged to be legally insane, and is therefore allowed to choose their own rank (within reason).>>
