NASA has unveiled their new class of astronauts to be trained for potential future missions. These 8, highly qualified, individuals are living the dream. Coming from a wide variety of backgrounds, these people have been selected from a pool of over 6,000 applicants to train to be the next pioneers of space exploration.
NASA will be hosting a Google+ Hangout session today to discuss the new recruits. If you want to follow along, follow this link: http://go.nasa.gov/126mOLK or watch it on Space.com. It will take place at 4:00 p.m. EDT.
