CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA astronaut candidates Tyler "Nick" Hague, left, and Victor Glover visit Complex 5/6 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, adjacent to NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The launch pad is the place where Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard lifted off in 196 to become America's first man in space. The astronaut class of 2013 was selected by NASA after an extensive year-and-a-half search. The new group will help the agency push the boundaries of exploration and travel to new destinations in the solar system.
