Just for the sake of discussion, let’s say that Hillary did apply for the astronaut program. The following women, all approximately the same age as Hillary (their year of birth is shown in parentheses) have flown in space as a member of the U.S. astronaut program: Sally Ride 91951), Judith Resnik (1949), Kathryn Sullivan (1951), Anna Lee Fisher (1949), Margaret Rhea Seddon (1947), Shannon Lucid (1943), Bonnie Dunbar (1949), and Mary Cleave (1947.) Since they are about the same age as Hillary, it stands to reason that they also applied for the program at about the same age that Hillary would have been when she applied. Why weren’t they turned down?

That’s a great post.
I could see Trump tweeting that out.

Hillary's claim is that she wrote when she was 13, which was 1961 or 62. NASA does not keep copies of that kind of correspondence but it is telling that no publicity hound has ever come forward with a NASA no girls allowed rejection letter. Others have surfaced where NASA laid out the requirements without reference to gender.

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 and if she made herself a top prospect she was in the right age cohort to be selected.

And she wonders why she is not perceived as a truthful person?
