Space shuttle astronaut selection to take years, NASA says
NASA officials say a new generation of space shuttle astronauts will take about two years to pick. Of 73 chosen since 1959, 33 remain active, many never flying again. 40 moved to other careers. Several Mercury, Gemini, Apollo veterans remain in or near space efforts with varied postflight roles.
