When 12 years old, Hillary Clinton wrote a letter to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration on how to apply to be an astronaut. She received a reply from NASA that women were not admitted into the astronaut corps. In the 1990s, during her White House years, Hillary participated in a clandestine effort by the Clinton administration to find out the truth about UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Clinton administration efforts to be officially briefed were unsuccessful. FOIA documents requested by Grant Cameron, a Canadian UFO researcher, show the Clintons instead received an informal briefing by billionaire philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller. After her unsuccessful presidential bid and offer by President-Elect Obama to be Secretary of State, former President Bill Clinton revealed that becoming the nation’s chief diplomat was Hillary’s life long dream. All these background facts suggest Hillary Clinton desires to conduct diplomatic relations with extraterrestrial life.

She doesn’t have to look very far. We have a big-eared possible illegal alien in the WH.

Ah...for those who haven’t heard it but can listen to a YouTube file, it’s pretty funny.

Uhhh... The letter to NASA story has been debunked as another Hillary lie and it is being perpetuated by the MSM.
Fact: NASA was created when Hillary Rodham was 12 and Alan Shepherd did go into space when she was 14. The NASA program for training female astronauts was not canceled until 2 years after Hillary allegedly wrote this letter.
“The other day, when Hillary’s claim that she wrote to NASA and was told in a responding letter that the space agency “didn’t take girls” struck us as implausible and poorly calculated because obviously checkable, our interest waned at the prospect of FOILing the correspondence.
First Lady in Space Sally Ride is only a few years younger, as James Taranto has pointed out, than Hillary Clinton.
But the really interesting thing is that someone just a few years younger is more likely to have gotten that letter than Hillary was.
In fact NASA was training women until 1962. Hillary was about 15 when they cancelled the Mercury 13 program, which trained a group of women to go into space only to be cancelled when the real prospect of sending them up was before NASA.
Here’s the report from All Things Considered:
Out of a pool of women selected to undergo trials, 13 women endured and passed the battery of grueling physical and psychological tests — the same tests the original Mercury 7 male astronauts underwent at the Lovelace Foundation in Albuquerque, N.M.
In some cases, the women scored better on the tests than their male counterparts.
The names of the women pilots and would-be astronauts — among them, Jerrie Cobb, Wally Funk, Myrtle Cagle, Bernice “B” Steadman — are largely lost to history.
The testing program was halted and eventually scrapped, in large part, Ackmann writes, because of a pervasive “boy’s club” attitude at NASA.”
For future Freep readers looking for more information on Hillary’s NASA lie, here is a good expose. Sadly, most women don’t care and go along with the Hillary’s feminist myth.

Yeah, yeah - whatever. The important thing is that the story missed the fact that she wrote the letter under intense sniper fire.
That is pure BULLSH!T. I never heard her mention this. I understand that I am not privy to their personal discussions at home but I believe Hillary at some point would have mentioned this...her book perhaps??? Now many times she has mentioned wanting to be an astronaut, but she was probably 15 years to early. She probably could have become one if she graduated college in 1981 and not 1968.
