Abstract
When NASA Administrator Charles Bolden announced the latest class of NASA’s eight astronaut candidates, June 17, the Naval
Postgraduate School (NPS) was able to add yet another space-traveling alumnus to its ranks, now totaling 41 and counting.
Lt. Cmdr. Victor Glover, an F/A-18 combat pilot currently serving as a Legislative Fellow in the office of Senator John McCain, was
selected from more than 6,100 applicants to begin training at Johnson Space Center in August for potential space flight. Glover
graduated from the Naval Postgraduate School in 2009 through the Master’s of Systems Engineering Management – Product
Development 21st Century (SEM-PD21) program, in addition to receiving a space systems academic certificate in 2005, both via
distance learning.
