Which Astronaut Are You?

You’re Rusy Schweickart - best known for being the Lunar Module Pilot on the 1969 Apollo 9 mission, on which you performed the first in-space test of the Portable Life Support System used by the Apollo astronauts who walked on the Moon. You're very technologically minded and were responsible for developing the hardware and procedures used by the first crew to perform critical in-flight repairs of the Skylab station. You're not only a former NASA astronaut, but can also add aeronautical engineer, research scientist, U.S. Air Force fighter pilot AND former business and government executive to your CV!

You’re Nicole Stott, A.K.A 'The Artistic Astronaut'. You have not only explored the realms of outer space, but also the depths of our oceans as a NASA Aquanaut. You’re a very creative person and have taken your art to great heights, painting the first watercolour in space! You’re an eco-warrior, passionate about the environment and finding solutions to our planetary challenges. Now in your retirement after 27 years of working for NASA, you combine your artwork and spaceflight experience to teach others about the relationship between science and art. 

You're Neil Armstrong. You're arguably the most famous astronaut of all time, who made history as the first man to walk on the moon in July 1969. You made your first spaceflight as commander of Gemini 8 in March 1966, becoming NASA's first civilian astronaut to fly in space. You're ambitious, a true leader and always prove calm under pressure. You're an expert in Aeronautics, designing and flying planes for the National Aeronautics Committee, before you were selected for the astronaut programme in 1962.

You’re Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian to walk in Space.You have a love of flying and were a former experimental test pilot in the RCAF before you were accepted into the Canadian astronaut program and got to fly your first rocket. Another one of your passions is music and you’ve recently become a YouTube singing sensation having written a music album and recorded the first song recorded in space while on Expedition 35. You also have a great moustache… 

You’re Ed Lu. You have flown three missions, logging 206 days in space, helping to construct and live aboard the International Space Station. You like to be a bit mysterious and your quest in life is to ‘map the unknown’—whether by researching the oceans at Liquid Robotics, leading Google Advanced Projects Team to map our neighborhoods, and conducting pioneering research into our solar system. Did I mention you’re also a bit of wizard, being the first astronaut to perform a card trick in outer space!

You're Tom Jones - no not the singer! You have flown on four space shuttle missions to Earth orbit and have spent 53 days in space. On your last flight, you led three spacewalks to install the centre piece of the International Space Station, the American Destiny laboratory. You’re an expert on asteroids, meteorite spectroscopy, and applications of space resources and have a Ph.D. in planetary science. You also love writing and and in your spare time you’re an author! 

You’re Valentina Tereshkova. You are a Russian cosmonaut, who became the first woman to fly to space, when you launched on the Vostok 6 mission on June 16, 1963.
You're a thrill-seeker and your expertise in parachute jumping led to your selection as a cosmonaut. You also have an interest in politics, becoming active in the political sphere, as an influential, powerful member of the Communist regime following your retirement from the space programme.
