NASA Astronaut Group 4

Group 4 astronauts
Group 4 astronauts
  • ... that in June 1965, NASA announced the selection of six scientists (five pictured) as astronauts? Source: ""Scientist-Astronauts Join NASA Space Program"" ([1])

  • Symbol possible vote.svg 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)
  • Did you know that NASA Astronaut Group 4, selected in 1965 for the Apollo Moon program, was the first recruited primarily on the basis of scientific experience? --Neopeius (talk) 02:26, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

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)
