Space Case

What does it take to be an astronaut? Who gets to be one? In the beginning, a particular kind of person was recruited to be part of the Mercury 7 or one of the first cosmonauts. These days, things have changed a bit. It is your job to find out about one "space case."

You will do part of your research in the library and part of your research in the computer lab.Do your research before you pick an astronaut. You will e-mail me with the name of the person you want to know about and why.
