(AP) — NASA chose 12 new astronauts Wednesday from its biggest pool of applicants ever, hand- picking seven men and five women who could one day fly aboard the nation’s next generation of spacecraft. The astronaut class of 2017 includes doctors, scientists, engineers, pilots and military officers from Anchorage to Miami and points in between. They’ve worked in submarines, emergency rooms, univer- sity lecture halls, jet cock- pits and battleships. They range in age from 29 to 42, and they typically have led the pack. Vice President Mike Pence welcomed the group during a televised ceremony at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. He offered President Donald Trump’s congratulations and noted that the president is “firmly committed to NASA’s noble mission, leading America in space.” Pence assured the crowd that NASA will have the resources and support necessary to continue to make history. He said he would lead a resurrected Robert Markowitz/NASA via AP This undated photo made available by NASA on Wednesday shows the 2017 NASA Astronaut Class at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

National Space Council to help set the direction of the program. Under Trump, “America will lead in space once again, and the world will marvel,” Pence said. More than 18,300 people threw their hats into the space ring during a brief application period 1 ½ years ago.

Americans have been hitching rides aboard Russian spacecraft in the meantime. the space shuttles were close to launching. The 12 selected Wednesday will join 44 astronauts already in the NASA corps.
