I'm about done, so there are currently 44 astronauts in NASA's corps, down from 150 during the Shuttle program. -- (link) - spamlet Jan 19, 14:53 1
- PIRR-I win! I was going to say 37, originally, but I know NASA has been going on the cheap, for awhile -- nm - Flavorize Jan 19, 15:05
88 -- nm - JD Jan 19, 14:23
27…but 99 if you include billionaires that bought their way in -- nm - Flavorize Jan 19, 14:16 1
- One can't buy a spot in the astronaut corp. You can't even get wings anymore if you're a a commercial space passenger -- nm - JD Jan 19, 14:22
I will guess 69 assuming these are just the ones eligible to go up as passengers. - Max Jan 19, 14:13 2
- They're astronauts. With the retirement of the shuttle there's no need for pilots anymore. If Boeing can get their act together, there would be two - JD Jan 19, 14:28 1
  - "Pilots" is the most memorable scene from The Right Stuff for me. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 14:52
