Re: "opening up applications to would-be astronauts with a physical disability"
Oh, so that's what "parastronaut" means. I was wondering if it was somebody who jumped out halfway up (para as in parachute).
Not to be funny, but if they make the grade, they're an astronaut, plain and simple. 'cos when they're floating around in a tin can, I doubt anybody is going to give a crap if some body part isn't quite right so long as that person can fulfill their part of the mission.
