NASA Astronaut Group 13
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NASA Astronaut Group 13 (the Hairballs) was a group of 23 astronauts announced by NASA on 17 January 1990.[1] The group name came from its selection of a black cat as a mascot, to play against the traditional unlucky connotations of the number 13.[2]
