The selection of the first class of space shuttle astronauts held historic significance not only because of its then-record size but also because,\u00a0for the first time, the group included women and minorities. Previous astronaut selections in the 1960s consisted of test pilots or scientists, in those days the domain principally of white men.\u201c Update: I posted this on Sunday morning, 26 January.
