The Hairballs
The Astronauts of Group 13
Year selected 1990 Number selected 23
NASA Astronaut Group 13 (the Hairballs) was a group of 23 astronauts announced by
NASA on 17 January 1990.
[1] The group name came from its selection of a black cat as a mascot, to play against the traditional unlucky connotations of the number 13.
