Hi Everyone!

Presented here is my illustration of USAF Enlisted Astronaut(Aircrew) Badge. This would be worn by USAF enlisted personnel who would work as Mission Specialists, on various spacecraft, Lunar Bases, Mars Bases and beyond.

I could have sworn I heard something about an enlistedman from one of the services being accepted into the Astronaut Program. Have you heard anything to that effect?

I heard this also, though I think that this astronaut is a U.S. Navy Chief Warrant Officer, and that he's a Mission Specialist.

That sounds a little more believable. That's not to say an enlistedman couldn't be an astronaut, but the requirements in terms of experience and advanced schooling automatically disqualifies the vast majority of enlistedmen.
