This is a wonderful guide to space and the men and women who have been involved in the exploration of our universe. Students can access astronaut profiles by spacecraft as well. Participants can even chat with a featured astronaut in the astronaut forum.

Here links are provided to field journals of astronauts and the men and women of the shuttle team.

Although this site is basically a description of the Astronaut Hall of Fame in Florida, it is possible to read very brief biographies about many astronauts including: Buzz Aldrin, John Glenn, Alan Shepherd, "Gus" Grissom, Neil Armstrong, and more.

From this page students can link to fascinating information. Included are links that tell students who the crew will be for the next (or current) Shuttle mission, an astronaut fact book, biographies of current astronauts, the selection and training process for astronauts, what the wardrobe is for astronauts, and, finally, an astronaut's view of Earth.

Students can read the original questions and responses from Space Shuttle Discovery.

Direct links to the biographies of women who are currently astronauts in NASA's space program.

Click on any of the five astronauts involved in Skylab and learn about his life.

For students interested in a career as an astronaut, this site gives a description of what life as an astronaut is like including career preparation.
