Description
The term "astronaut" derives from the Greek words meaning "space sailor," and refers to all who have been launched as crew members aboard NASA spacecraft bound for orbit and beyond. The term "astronaut" has been maintained as the title for those selected to join the NASA corps of astronauts who make "space sailing" their career profession. As I post this, we are celebrating 50 years of Apollo 11 moon landing. The current NASA astronauts on the Space Station as of July 2019 are: Christina Koch, Drew Morgan, and Nick Tyler Hague. There are 3 astronauts from other countries also on board.
