Four Space Shuttle Fliers to Be Inducted by Astronaut Hall of Fame

Spacewalker John Grunsfeld and Rhea Seddon, who was one of NASA's first female astronauts, will be enshrined alongside space shuttle commanders Steven Lindsey and Kent Rominger during a May 30 ceremony at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The four astronauts, who are the 14th class of shuttle veterans to be added to the Astronaut Hall of Fame, will bring the total number of members to 91.
