(FILES) This May 1, 2004 file image courtesy of NASA shows NASA Deputy Administrator Frederick D. Gregory as he is inducted into the US Astronaut Hall of Fame at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Gregory was the first African-American to command a space mission. The United States does not have enough astronauts to meet the changing needs of human spaceflight in the coming years, warned a report Spetmber 7, 2011 by a non-profit group that advises on science policy. The shrinking American astronaut corps poses risks to the US investment in human spaceflight and NASA should take steps to boost the size of its space-flying crew, the National Research Council said in its report.
"Viewed as a supply chain, astronaut selection and training is very sensitive to critical shortfalls," said committee co-chair Frederick Gregory, former commander of three shuttle missions.
