I’m curious of the number of astronauts actually make it to space. I always believed less than 200 people have ever been to space (I may be wrong), but from the sound of that article, Jerry Ross had been there 7 times. Exactly how often do space launches occur? Again, thanks hazmat for that article. Why is Purdue popular for sending astronauts into space? Do they have an exceptional program for such? (Sorry if that’s a stupid question) But what is it that distinguishes Purdue from other colleges? Also, what type of field would be necessary in going to space? Thanks again
