Representing the future of U.S. space exploration, NASA's 2004 astronaut candidate class was sworn in for duty on June 14. This class is unique in that it includes three Educator Astronauts, who have the distinctive role of using their experiences in space to enrich classroom learning. With their impressive skills and backgrounds, the 11 astronaut candidates will spread their enthusiasm for space to humankind as they explore new worlds.
