Stage 1: Pick An Astronaut

In the chart below, a number of men and women have been listed who have been involved with the space program. Picking astronauts is first come first serve, so after you’ve picked one check with your teacher to see if that astronaut is still available (it may be a good idea to pick a few backups). Each class member will only be able to pick one astronaut from this list, and each astronaut can only be picked once. Good luck!
