It was the first NASA selection since Group 6 in 1967, and was the largest group to that date. The class was the first to include female and minority astronauts; of the 35 selected, six were women, one of them being Jewish American, three were African American, and one was Asian American. Starting with this group, new selections were considered astronaut candidates rather than fully-fledged astronauts until they finished their training. The careers of the Group 8 astronauts would span the entire Space Shuttle Program. ======================================= A special thanks to the channel supporters (   / retrospacehd   ): Andrew Hamburg David Graves Francis Bernier Francisco Forero Gary Smith Gene Dorr Gio Pagliari gort58 Jack Johnson Jan Strzelecki Jeff Pleimling Jules E Kevin Spencer Marco Zambianchi Michael Pennington Nathan Koga Popio Rick Durr Ryan Hardy Scott Manley ======================================== #astronauts #spaceshuttle #nasa
