Nieoczekiwanie w tym roku:
Jeanette Epps odsunięto od przygotowań od lotu kosmicznego.
Jack David Fischer odszedł z NASA po 1. locie kosmicznym, gdy nie wszyscy jeszcze z jego grupy znaleźli się na orbicie.
Alaska nie ma szczęścia do astronautów. Robb Kulin byłby pierwszym urodzonym w tym stanie. Innym astronautą , który spędził dzieciństwo w tym stanie jest William Oefelein. Jednak po wykonaniu jednego lotu kosmicznego NASA pożegnała się z nim z powodu uwikłania w sprawę Lisy Nowak.

O'Leary resigned in April 1968 due to the lack of spaceflight prospects and Llewellyn resigned a few months later, in August 1968, after failing to make progress piloting jets. Both O'Leary and Llewellyn have died, in 2011 and 2013, respectively. (...)
