Does anybody have access to statistics regarding the pat few years' NASA astronaut applications. I have seen the statistics on what degree levels were accepted...those were easier to find. But I am specifically interested in gender breakdown in the applications...is the % of female applicants growing? I want to know if these numbers can mean an increased female interest in going to space, though I know there are lots of variables. More women in STEM fields every year means more women who might conceivably want to go to space and actually have a viable degree, so an increase in numbers or % may be an effect of those changing variables and not an increased interest.
I'm also interested in the overall degree distributions, racial distributions, etc.
I understand this information may not be public, just wanted to see if it was out there.
