After learning of the extreme physical and mental tests planned for them, four of these men dropped out. According to NASA, 25 astronauts are Ohio natives, having made nearly 80 space flights. An initial battery of written tests, interviews, and medical history reviews further reduced the number of candidates to 36. One of the areas in which Ohioans have blazed new trails is spaceflight. Of the 62 pilots who volunteered, six were found to have grown too tall since their last medical examination.
Because of the high rate of volunteering, the third group was eliminated. This number was arbitrarily divided into three groups, and the first two groups reported to Washington. Between 2018-2022, both astronauts ventured on their perspective missions to space to support scientific research and to conduct maintenance on the ISS. Not long after, Morgan would eventually join NASA’s ranks in 2013, becoming a full-fledged astronaut. In January 1959, NASA began the astronaut selection procedure, screening the records of 508 military test pilots and choosing 110 candidates. In 2011, Vande Hei had finally become an astronaut. In response, the United States consolidated its various military and civilian space efforts into NASA, which dedicated itself to beating the Soviets to manned space flight. On October 4, 1957, the USSR scored the first victory of the “space race” when it successfully launched the world’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik, into Earth’s orbit. NASA planned to begin manned orbital flights in 1961. Refresher courses in certain fields are given to ASCANs.

The seven men, all military test pilots, were carefully selected from a group of 32 candidates to take part in Project Mercury, America’s first manned space program. During Basic Training, ASCANs familiarize themselves with the operation of spacecrafts, train in spacewalks, learn to speak Russian, develop their team spirit and other skills necessary to practice as a NASA astronaut. Glenn Jr., Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Walter Schirra Jr., Alan Shepard Jr. On April 9, 1959, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) introduces America’s first astronauts to the press: Scott Carpenter, L.
