For the second time this presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton is claiming a federal agency rejected her inquiries to serve because she was a woman.
Clinton, appearing Tuesday on the Steve Harvey Show, said growing up, she wanted to be an astronaut.
“I was excited about the space program. I was excited about President Kennedy saying we were gonna send a man to the moon and bring him back within the decade. I thought it was really incredible we were gonna do that,†she told Harvey.
“So, yes, I wrote to NASA,†she said.
“Really…†Harvey replied.
“I wrote to NASA, you know, and said, well, how do you get the be an astronaut. They wrote me back saying, ‘thank you very much for your interest. At this time we are not accepting women astronauts,'†she said as the audience collectively sighed.
“And it did, you know, it hurt my feelings, but I could never have been an astronaut anyway, but I was happy that Sally Ride and other women got to be astronauts later on,†she said to applause.

:: The fact is if Hillary really wanted to be an astronaut she could have pursued a career in the sciences and/or aviation like the women you mentioned ::
Yet, she chose the Legal Profession. What does that tell us of both Hillary and the Legal profession?
Shakespeare.
Hillary would have been a half-astronaut. ;-)
I think the AF considers NASA a distraction, especially after the Challenger explosion.
Vandenberg was going to have to launch shuttles for polar, and maybe Westward trajectories, and a redesign of solid fuel boosters was under way using carbon fiber to eliminate weight to make up for the lack of rotational assist.
Unmanned rockets are much more efficient, and cheaper, for "simple" satellite launches.
She doesn’t think she has ever lied.
arf! arf! arf! arf!
Ah, playing the victim card like a Vegas croupier.
Also, the astronauts were basically all fighter pilot qualified.
There is no mention of the time and date that Hillary wrote the letter.
The smartest woman in the world had to write NASA to ask how one becomes an astronaut. Reply; Well Ms. Rodham. I suggest you write a thesis on Alinsky and other American Socialists. then get back to us.

I truly think Hillary actually believes the lies that she tells.
The following is an excerpt from Ask.com.
“-———the extent to which pathological liars appear to believe their own lies is at least enough to cause the pathological liar’s behavior or statements to appear delusional to others even if the lying is willful. It is not precisely known whether or not pathological liars can control their lies. In pathological liars, lies do not seem motivated by any obvious external reason for lying. The lying is impulsive, and any psychological reasoning behind the behavior is difficult to determine.”

Damn-- I though she wanted... 
to be a rebel!
You have to feel sorry for her. First, the US Marines turned her down because she was too fierce. Then NASA turned her down for being too smart. Then the Vatican turned her down for Pope for being too holy. Now she’s being persecuted for being too humane, feminine, and compassionate. Some people just can’t win.
teen sweetheart? Well, in my neck of the woods, we'd used... 
a burlap bag--
Chunk full of... 
claw hammers!
LOLOL
When she was new in the profession she was fired from the staff of the Watergate committee for being unethical and untruthful. She's been that way her entire adult life.
I’ve been waiting for he to claim that she’s been a member of SEAL team 20 for the past 25 years
I get it, but I’m a chemist...mathematics based “facts and proof” where a law is immutable and unchangeable.
Legal beagles rely on loopholes because, well, 180-degrees from the above statement.
Show us the letter you liar!
but they said I had to have been born in France!
