NASA Astronaut Group 4
- ... that in June 1965, NASA announced the selection of six scientists (five pictured) as astronauts? Source: ""Scientist-Astronauts Join NASA Space Program"" ([1])
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Garden of Eden (cellular automaton)
- Comment: Pic is there if you want it
5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:59, 26 May 2019 (UTC).
The current hook is very bland, as I believe that most readers tend to associate astronauts with science anyway, so many astronauts being scientists is pretty much a given. Can something better be proposed here? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:25, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- Did you know that NASA Astronaut Group 4, selected in 1965 for the Apollo Moon program, was the first chosen primarily on the basis of scientific experience?
- Perhaps something like (it needs reworded)
- ... that in June 1965, NASA selected six scientists (five pictured) by waiving the requirement to be a pilot? Source: ""Scientist-Astronauts Join NASA Space Program""
- Something about it being the first non-pilots to be selected might spice it up a bit. I do not like my wording, but perhaps someone can craft it a little better. Kees08 (Talk) 01:41, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- Perhaps something like (it needs reworded)
Comment NASA selected a second group of scientist-astronauts in 1967, after which the idea was dropped. Starting in 1978, astronauts other than pilots were selected under the designation of mission specialist; but they are not necessarily or even usually scientists. Consider the latest lot for example. (And note that four are test pilots.) Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:22, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Ping Since this has been stuck for a while now, would you be fine with Template:U's suggested hook? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:27, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- Putting Neopeius's suggestion below to fit DYK standards:
- ALT ... that NASA Astronaut Group 4, selected in 1965 for the Apollo program, was the first recruited primarily on the basis of scientific experience?
- Just waiting for Hawkeye's response, after which a full review will be done. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:34, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
